It wasn't meant as harsh criticism, just a comment or caution. I was
very tempted to do the same thing he did. I didn't, because of
copyright restrictions.
The reason that I was so tempted to post this is that I couldn't
figure out whether wnash's post was a benison or a slam. He certainly did
provide the address to sign up, and so on.

Your civil rights are *not* abrogated if you say something someone
doesn't like.

If you complained to a friend about your boss and she went and told
your boss what you said would you feel the same way? Besides, he *did*
tell us almost exactly the same thing in a post to the list.
