I respectfully resond, "no".  Voltaire's _Essay_on_Tolerance_ springs
to mind.  Though I dislike the referenced article very much (in spite
of my empty wallet) I will not censor it.

The problem that does exist, unfortunately, is that the article almost
certainly got to us via networks which have probitions against
transferring this sort of thing; _however_ it was already received and
forwarded by us long before I got wind of it.  At this point all we
are doing it is keeping it on our system which is not at all illegal.

Could someone please explain to me the legal implications of this?

Dave
