No, that figures. But one reason I asked was, that you sometimes
don't know in advance which list is going to be *really* open and
uncensored. That's why it's a good idea to do what you're planning
too, at least check that other one out. Openness is *so* goddamn
important.

Thanks. And experience shows there are people who *will* give
you the *wrong* time o' day, every day, every hour. Did you
read the comments, for instance, on that other list we're both
on, on your saying you liked that very truthful UAP Bureau news
report on the elections there, the comments by one person you
voted for and also by the list's owner? You were away when they
were posted. Reading some of the mail you got during that period,
I suggest, should be quite enlighenting. 

To other M-I readers: This discussion you may not be able to
follow that much, not knowing the pre-history. But it's basically
about the necessity of distinguishing the phony from the genuine,
always an important and sometimes difficult theme as far as
Marxism and (")Marxists(") are concerned.
