Re: [ga] Final draft of proposed mailing list rules

["!Dr. Joe Baptista" <baptista@pccf.net>]

Well Mr. Touton thank you for bringing us this answer.  And now an
important question for you.  I was censored by the DNSO list admin and the

I look forward to your well informed legal opinion.

And now for my reply to you.

Not only is it motivated by politics - it's also a necessity for the Names

P.S.  Won't it be fun if this becomes an international incident, criminal
or otherwise.
