For the record - I did.  csn.announce is carried across many
different networks,  each with their own idea of what is appropriate
use of tax payer's money.  The administrators for each of these
networks has defined policies concerning what is correct and what
is not.  Traffic that they believe is wrong is not carried.

In the beginning I asked about these policies and got copies
and formulated an acceptable compromise.  Feel free to vote,
but the current moderator has the last say as to what happens
on csn.announce,  and the network admins that carry csn.announce
have the final say about if it goes through their wires or
not.

I would strongly urge that you do not deluge the moderator of
csn.announce with "we must have a vote...."  He has a very
difficult job to do with a bunch of very vocal people with
little clue as to what is going on.
