I'm not for censorship of someones thoughts or their ability to speak 
their mind, if they so desire.  I do think that there should be another 
place, within our community, that such discussions should take place.  
SATLUG-ETC would keep those of us in -our- community talking to others 
in -our- community, and wouldn't pollute this list with what others 
would deem to be off-topic diatribe in the regular SATLUG mailing list.

How hard could it be, in Mailman, to (re)create a new list? 

(*chuckle*) Don't we have enough Linux 'experts' that could figure that 
one out?  ;-)
