I'm not inclined to start an argument, but I would appreciate it if you would
refrain from putting words in my mouth - my gist was that the message from JR
should be allowed - it's an opinion, just as Dr. Marson's comment should be
allowed as another opinion.  I did not say she had no right to say what she did,
I simply voiced my opinion on her message - free speech for all.

I do understand your concerns about the quality of postings to the list (I've
been accused of elitist snobbery enough times myself!), but any notion of
'quality' is, perforce, a subjective one.
