  Greg's function is to eliminate items which are not calls for
discussion, votes, or anouncements of voting results. If he started to
screen stuff beyond that you would complain that he was censoring your
postings.

  The people who actually do things on this net get enough flack they
deserve without someone complaining about the job they do right. Greg
decides is a posting is of the correct form and topic, not it it is
good, just, deserving, grammatical, or binding.
