Actually, the 'vanagon.com' domain servers are in Toronto, Ontario,  
Canada these days, at 4java.ca.

I disagree that the mailing list legally 'belongs to me'.  I neither  
started it nor consider myself to own it.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that  
we  are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only  
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American  
public.
