The club once had a Spokesman editor who remarked that he would print anything submitted to him that he thought was of interest to the membership. This included non-commercial ads, recipes, - you name it. The idea was that someone out there might actually find the item of value. To cut off a great many opinions from the cycling community at large is restrictive of the general cycling interests of the entire membership. > >-Non-members wishing to send a note of interest to the club >can do so via this email address or the OBC office, it will >then be decided if it is of interest to club members. Gad! Censorship by a few people who will decide what I and the membership at large may find interesting/ informative/ repulsive/ whatever. (The use of the delete key can rid one's computer of crap one has no interest in reading).

Does this include members who the list administrator might deem to be trouble-makers? >>I know personally people who joined the club, but quit after >>a year after reading the crap that is post on this list. We >>have members who refuse to subsribe for simular reasons. This implies that only non-members submit crap which is simply not the case. >-As a courtesy, posters are asked to identify themselves or >risk removal from the list. ....
