I disagree with the delete-key being a solution for
offending email to this list (Peter's post).  I'd suggest
deleting the sender (of offending emails) from this list.
Yes we all have the right to free speech, but we all have
the right to ostracize people we find offending.  It is not a
question of "rights" but rather of who's rights are to
prevail.  In the past folks have been dropped form the list
(for being offending) and I (for one) suggest that we keep
up that policy.  We are here to discuss vanagons, not to
discuss people, guns, potatoes, prostitutes or arabs or
jews or conservative or liberals.  This is not jokes.com,
not prejudice.com, not insults.com,  not misogynist.com
It's vanagon.com so that's what we discuss here.  m2cw,
Malcolm
