Hmmmm... seems to me I've posted in the last year, Richard Henderson, 
John Palmer and many other true stakeholders in the internet community. 
 Since I send trolls to /dev/null I don't even see them, so I can 
honestly say that I've read many messages from posters who are not your 
typical troll.

If I can filter trolls, so can anyone else.  The value of a discussion 
list is the fact that it is, in fact, *open* and does not have a single 
biased moderator who can, at his or her sole discretion, prevent posts 
from being published.  You may not value free speech, but many of us do.

Regards,

Leah
