I mostly just read the messages on the -bb, I don't post one very often. But I
just wanted to offer my support for the AUP also. It has been needed for a long

Actually my view of it is a bit earthier as I am sure most of those who
know will attest, I am a bit of an earthy character. So please allow me

I agree that if you don't like how things are being run:
1. leave,
2. vote out the BoD and vote in new, or

They are not censoring anyone. They are moderating and controlling their
