Oh, Todd, don't get into THAT argument again ;-)

You deleted articles.  That's censorship to any sane individual.  You were
right in doing so, but quit trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear -
it will still be a pig's appendage to anyone with sense ;-)

(...) Just a couple of nits to pick: One, TLC can't "pull rank," although I'm sure that's not literally what you meant. Two, editorial control was not exercised, so "censor" isn't really accurate. --Todd (26 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
