Just to let you know what Celeste is saying and thinking see the
following. The first part is from Tim Rosmus, who put an end to this
cancel nonsense from Celeste. But, apparently Celeste thinks she's on some
kind of sabbatical. Perhaps she thinks she's returning soon.

And Celeste answers me by saying --

It sounds like she was doing quite a "service" for the group.

And also it sounds like if she just stopped "on her own" -- then she can
start up just as easily on her own. I say, "Once a censor, always a
censor."

Does your news server allow forged cancels? That promotes censorship
on content. A UseNet Death Penalty was issued because of my warning
about a crooked ISP -- ** Texas.Net ** -- cheating the customers.
Complain in a post to austin.internet about the UDP and censorship!!
