Chris, as co-moderator, endorsed the idea that one can/should contact 
the postmaster of a li*st member and ask the postmaster to *censor* that 
person's posts if one doesn't like the content of that person's posts. 

That is endorsement of censorship -- pure and simple. I would have 
thought that we, of *all* people, would be opposed to censorship by Net 
providers and/or the government. I must be mistaken.
