BobR,
 
You raise a good point, it is horrible to let someone do our thinking
for us.  However, I do not think I would consider the editing of ST
Report to be 'censorship' or 'thinking for us'.  STR could not be
distributed with the ads over the net...By removing those ads and
distributing them greg was doing a service to the ST community, making
more info available.  He should have gotten permission of the author
first mind you, but other then that there is nothing wrong with what
he did.  
 
There is always someone who is doing the 'thinking' for you, if
editing is indeed thinking for someone.  People at a newspaper are
editing and deciding what is newsworthy, people at a TV Station, and
unless you can be everywhere at once, you will always get an 'edited'
version of things.  I do not think that STR was edited irresponsibly
OTHER THEN the fact that permission should have been granted before
such distribution took place.
 
I will no longer read STR, by the way...This was between Greg and the
author of STR...what is it doing all over the net?
