And it's for that reason that I specially pointed at the newsgroup (eu)net.politics. Second I know very well the difference between moderation and censorship, but since the boundary between those two is very vague, censorship tends to euphemistically be presented as "moderation". That's why I did (and do) *not* speak about moderation, but about "moderation". -- Piet Beertema CWI (Center for Math. & Comp. Science), Amsterdam ...{decvax,philabs}!mcvax!piet
