I should add one thing here to clarify the context of what I mean. I'm talking
of course about the newsgroups above.
In contrast, the sets database is a completely different story: editorial
control *is* and probably always will be exercised in the sets database --
and for obvious reasons: adding/updating data, correcting mistakes, etc.
Six people currently have access to change things in the sets DB and a fair
amount of editing goes on over time.
I think we're getting tripped up on wording here and I would personally rather
focus on what is happening and has happened and will continue to happen,
rather than trying to apply loaded labels like "censorship" or "editorial
control", etc.
The bottom line is that no newsgroup content is edited or removed on the basis
of its content, unless required to do by an outside party (i.e., LEGO in this
case) for clear and justified legal reasons. This ensures the continued
health and existence of the site while not passing judgment on the content.
If you want to call that editorial control, so be it, but it's just a label.
What occurs, and why, is far more important. (And I realize you have already
stated this a different way when you said "please keep doing so.")
