Threats of Censorship?

[Tom Glover]

Thanks. I needed those  procmail rules.

What is being forgotten here is this. I'll use an analogy so even Jim can
understand. If there is a list to discuss Chevy engines then those people
who insist on posting questions about Ford engines (or wheat farming in
the Ukraine) can expect to be asked to cease and desist. In fact if they
persist in posting off topic they should expect that their names be
removed from the list membership. Jim Fleming has posted so much off topic
stuff that he has long been relegated to my procmail kill file. In Jim's
case I don't find a "curfew with shoot to kill order" an unacceptable
solution :) Seriously, there is no talk of censorship but simply a request
that all posts made are relevant to the specific purpose of the list.
