Rick- a. The subjects of your posts are not truncated in the digest. If they look that way for you it is a problem on your end. The digests are going out with all posts intact and unedited, and they look fine on all my computers when they arrive here. b. The digests are assembled and mailed automatically by a computer. Untouched by humans. To my knowledge, this computer has no opinions or bias about you or anyone else. I'm quite certain that it does not care about what you have to say. c. Therefore, in regards to your question of whether you are being paranoid or not, the answer appears to be "yes". d. Looper's Delight has always operated under principles of freedom of expression and individual responsibility. That is why the community is so strong. There is no authority available to censor anybody else, nor is there any need for it. The community manages and regulates itself just fine. (a reasonable example of a functional anarchy, in fact.) e. and jeez, I've barely had time to read the list in a year, let alone post. Do you honestly think I'm sitting here every day editing together digests and concerning myself with the length of your subject line?!? kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
