The good, the bad, and the ugly.

[Guest guest]

finally answered my query of why the previous group was removed.

What I got was a form answer, telling me that a group can removed for

basically any reason, without any prior notice. While I can

understand this behavior is to avoid getting sued (I found posts on

the web about a suit against , brought by someone in 1999,

regarding the content of messages which referred to him), I prefer to

participate in forums where people are personally responsible for the

content of their posts.

On top of that, I just got censored on www.marshallprotocol.com, for

posting to a topic that wasn't even related to the protocol:

http://www.marshallprotocol.com/view_topic.php?id=2035 & forum_id=31 & jump_to=19791\

#p19791

All this makes me want to revert back to using wide open news/google

groups, and/or creating private web pages, rather than risk the wrath

of others controlling what I have to say.
