I don't have any frustration or anger. I just state my opinion. I'm glad you 
value it highly.

I have to disagree. If any political or otherwise "potentially hurtful" 
content would have to be stripped from all the mailing lists archives the 
n00bs wouldn't be left with a lot of good advice. It's a useless discussion 
and laying the n00b ruler next to it will only make things worse. We've never 
ever censored anything, and I doubt we ever will in the near future (let's 
call that a definate NO). You should rethink what you're asking for.

It's not about who contributed what at all in this discussion.

You're babbling. Let me wake you up gently here.  What the heck is your point
