And that, I believe, is why Ed agreed to filter the OT messages, so that we could censor ourselves.
I respect your opinion, Bill, but I don't see the problem here. To me, the Ots are a quick way to get some serious surfing done by other people and reap the benefits without much effort. It is also somewhat entertaining to watch and occasionally participate in the OT melange when time permits or when I need to vent my frustration. The "attackers" as you call them, are simply bogeyman targets for usually harmless exchanges.

I trust folks like you and Ed do see the irony here: ProFox was established because freedom of speech was under assault. The irony is that we then became victim to a groupie or two who took the opportunity to flood the list with nonsense, which drove away the very people, such as yourself, whose opinions we thought we were clearing the way for. When someone posts almost 600 times in one month, that's not an exercise in free speech, that's an attack.
