If it is NOT a joke, just what is going on here? One might want to observe the "policy" of the sponsor, but how does it follow that we aren't allowed to do anything until the sponsor formulates a policy? What is wrong with the old way, ie we post what we d*mn well want and sign our names to it? And who made our moderator a channel of "authority"? Robert Firth
