Curtis:
((So again, why do we have to censor ourselves?))
At the risk of bringing down the fire on myself, the reason as I see it is that a number of contributors to the list were driven away by a childish few who could not engage in a civil discussion without resorting to insults and name calling. Some of these former contributors have a wealth of information that we all could benefit from. But no one wants to share their collections and information and then be insulted.
Another reason is that the individual who provides the computer resources for this list has the right to pull the plug when inappropriate postings are made.
That is why we have to censor outselves.
A famous publisher once wrote "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own the press."
