I-T There were extensive discussions over the issues and possible resolutions of issues leading up the AUP. As part of the process of looking at alternatives, I made the point that inevitably an alternate venue would appear for those who are not comfortable with a degree of moderation. (I called it, mostly tongue-cheek, AMSAT-BS.) There are several Yahoo groups which formed this way. Thanks for stepping up and doing this for those who need it.

But then sometime a fully uncensored place is also needed to discuss things where stepping on someones toes you don't have to worry about being threatened about being removed from the list. So many of these other groups made a secondary list where these non PC or not approved discussions can take place. I just made one for here is anyone feels like they want or need to use it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amsat-Uncensored/ ************* Idle-Tyme Visit Our Web Page To Learn All About This Incredible Timepiece! *The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle-Tyme.com <http://www.idle-tyme.com>* Rocky Jones wrote: > Bbo. so clever. > > this is how the "leaders" of Amsat, you know the ones who somewhere in a discussion (and I see you reached this stage as well) start to tell everyone "none of this discussion is launching anything into space"... people blow fuses. > > YOU personalized the discussion.
