	Sorry folks, but for some obscure reason, I am responding to this
and feel a need to keep matters somewhat clear.

	I'm sorry Tim, but the charter clearly indicates that any messages
you may post about auto-body work, COBOL or anything else off charter
can be weeded out.  If only prosyletizing messages were to be removed
or moderated, wouldn't the charter have specifically said "...the moderation
is explicitly limited to the weeding out of prosyletizing messages"?  That
isn't what it said.

	What's the big deal here, you would think this was a life and death
matter.  Like mellow out.
