Now perhaps this is a little off, but given the logic that you suggest his
mention of He Who Had a Short Mustache might be offensive (by merely
mentioning the name)... Aren't you therefore guilty of the same offensive
violation? Gratuitous mentioning does imply that there is a context, and
the context is something that would/should/could become offensive.

*shrug*

Seems odd. Humor is good occasionally. Oblique and non-meritorious
censorship, however, is not.

Bear in mind, I apparantly haven't paid attention or noticed any of his past
behavior that may have warranted this. But it seems equally
counter-productive to the operation of the list for what he did as what you
did in order to let him know that.

I doubt very much that Susan is actually writing these messages.

Having spoke to two of the people involved in this, I have reason to believe
that she is. Husan Sarris (whoever is masquerading under that name) is merely
forwarding the messages to the list. I would assume that people are now
posting "non operational" under these psuedonyms for fear of their true
subscriptions getting "banned".

What a sorry situation we seem to have been pushed into with this list.
