[snippo] I wrote a short response to one point in the original post, and it got "lost" somehow. Bryce (I think) said words to the effect that "We (subscribers) are doing something with John's computer, etc.", as though the list subscribers are actually operating John's computer, with John's kind permission and over- view (as though children being supervised in school). What I said was: I don't *do* anything with John's computer, I merely mail messages with an address on them, and John can remail or dispose of those messages as he wishes, as long as he doesn't modify them or otherwise use them for any purpose besides what they were intended for. Bryce's (I think) writing was clearly an example of the kind of double- speak that 1984-ish censors use to justify their actions, and I for one cannot let that kind of B.S. go unchallenged.
