Well - mark - here's my public reply to you, which is the same as my
private reply.  If it's that bothersome - please filter me.

If more members feel the same - fine i'll consider it.  But I'd rather
people who don't want to see my posts because we communicate with mime,
filter me.  Don't burden yourselves on me with demands at censorhsip -
censor yourself.

What has this piece of green become.  our reply follows

Subject: Re: [IDNO-DISCUSS] HELP US and SUPPORT ICANN - IT BELONGS TO YOU (fwd) 

look - why don't you just plop me in a delete filter.  That way you can
decide how important what I have to say is.  Communication has evolved -
and we have to maintain a standard.

So please - I insist you filter me so we won't have any further problems.
Don't censor my means of expression - censor yourself first.

Thanks in advance and astalavista
