Roberto and everyone else,

  No Roberto I am afraid I don't agree.  Your comments are only a 
different form of SELECTIVELY CENSORSHIP.  And you know this is
WRONG, don't you Roberto?  Yes, of course you do.  Such efforts
will only result in more problems for you and the DNSO.  I would recommend
a reconsideration in your thinking process.

 Not true at all.
 You do have freedom of choice on whether to subscribe to the integral or
  abridged version.
 If you want to apply your own filter, subscribe to the full-length list,
  and apply it, but please don't deny to those who do not want to apply a
  "personal" filter the freedom of using a "pre-set" filter if they 
 choose  to do so.

 No, there's one thing that we don't get, and namely the choice for a 
 user to apply to a solution provided without the need for his/her 
 intervention.
 
 If you are so sure that people want to apply their own filters, why are 
 you so afraid of a solution that leaves them the choice to the on 
 whether to apply their own personalized filter or an "off-the-shelf" 
 solution?
 
 If we don't get subscibers to the "off-the-shelf" filtered list, of 
 course we will discontinue it (no need for extra work in absence of 
 market needs), but if we get subscribers, this will demonstrate that we 
 have the need and that the "product" was useful.
 
 Ready to pick up the challenge, or not?
 
 Regards
 Roberto
