[GreenKeys] Censorship On The Green-Keys Forum

[Peter Gottlieb]

I've seen many lists degenerate into chaos and name calling when politics gets 
in.  If nothing else, when the group owner says "enough" out of pure respect it 
is time to stop.  No last words, no arguments.  Dammit, be a man about it.

There is plenty to talk about wrt Teletypes and there is a real danger that the 
knowledge of how to maintain these wondrous machines will pass into history.  I 
would prefer that not happen, and keeping as many people as possible connected 
to this list is a help in that direction so we don't need to chase them away 
with it becoming another acrimonious newsgroup.

Just my 2 cents, and my last comment on the subject.

Peter
