Actually it was somebody other than Robert and Becky who closed their
list and hijacked it.  I think it's open now for reading.  Their views
have technically been 'public' but not disseminated very much.

If I forward an original document, I do more of a service by letting a
reader judge it without me filtering it.  If the "trollbusters" want
to send me their written stuff to forward to the newsgroups, then I'll
post that too.  If that happens, I'll be accused of being their
'mouthpiece'.
