He says what is and isn't allowed here. Your "free speech" stops at his door. You're welcome to say what you want -- Barry's under no obligation to let YOU use HIS list to say it in. Go set up your own list to say it in. Second, unfortunately, to many who don't have a clue what the term "free speech" REALLY means,it's turned into "I have the right to tell you to shut up". It merely means they feel they can do anything, and you can't tell them not to. Of course, by saying you can't tell them to not do it, they impinge on your free speech (if you accept their definition), but since that affects you, not them, that doesn't really matter. To them. -- Chuq Von Rospach, Architech [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chuqui.com/ Very funny, Scotty.
