Fwd: [at-l] Wingfoot's book
It's his list, he can put any filter he wants on it. Of course that's why
I canceled my subscription to his list and joined this one! I like this
one much, much better! It may ramble off topic a bit from time to time and
debate get a little heated, but for the most part this list is self
regulating. And well it should be, given the "Big Brother is watching"
(and filtering) alternative.

WF's filter list:
- JOURNAL Reason: He's not publishing journals on his web site this year,
and he doesn't want anyone advertising someone else's site that is
publishing
journals. People get around this by spelling it "Jurnal".
- WWW.ANYTHING.COM Reason: Again, he doesn't want people
advertising other sites on his site so www is out, .com is out. People get
around it by spelling out dot com.
- YOURNAME@AOL.COM Reason: He doesn't want people advertising their
email address. I guess he doesn't want conversations being held behind his
back.
- GEORGE BUSH Reason: WF doesn't like the man or anyone who does, he's
banned the use of the name, the word president and anyone who is a Bush
supporter.
