Andrew, I don't understand exactly what it is that you are getting at here. Are you
saying you are disatisfied with the list because we are not discussing issues that you
believe are important? If that is the case then please post away, I would be happy to
hear what you have to say. However, the threads that run here are largely the domain
of the list members. I read and keep track of the posts and the threads in order to
moderate and further discussion where necessary. Kris, and more recently M. Spitzer
provide content in an editorial context(others do this as well). The list is driven
by the members for the most part so please tell us what it is that you wish to discuss.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths,
misdirections
and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and
minor
effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said,
CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
