while i doubt that i average 7 to 10 messages a week, there are times when the
talk is hot and it warrants more than that. other times distractions take their
course and i don't send any mail.

i am opposed to any restrictions.

i will unsubscribe if the restrictions are to be imposed.

the membership has grown dramatically. that is a sign of a successful venture
not one requiring censorship.

so let us have a firm decision - are these filters going to be imposed?

kind regards
bill
