I didn't resign because of Ralph. In any event, THE ISSUE IS NOT OBSCENITY.
Nor is it hypocrisy, except on *your* part.

THE ISSUE IS *CENSORSHIP*.

YOU, EVIDENTLY, ARE IN FAVOR OF ASKING POSTMASTERS (AND POSSIBLY 
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES) TO CENSOR THE POSTS OF SUBSCRIBERS WHO YOU FIND 
OBJECTIONABLE.

I find this to be a *totally* outrageous suggestion which has 
far-reaching POLITICAL implications for the Internet.

You have put yourself on the side of the REACTIONARY forces who want to 
pressure Internet providers into censoring their subscribers.
