Oh THIS list is STILL like that ... no censoring, monitoring or controlling
going on here at all ...
Lots of divergent views, not to mention contradictory and conflicting
opinions ...
Lots of energy, smaschmellows too ...
You can write whatever you want and if some one likes it they'll say so and
if they don't like it they'll say that, too ...
Which is why I like this list ...
