Your having to reply through e-mail, as I have explained, is not deliberate.
I will write to the news administrators in Denver to see what the problem is.

Pray tell me what is the wrong thing?  Trying to help you?

Fine.  If you don't want to read it, it's your business.  I believe that
it was posted in this group also.

You may feel this way, yet a vote was taken on the creation of this group with 
me as one of the three moderators, and the vote passed.  I assume the people
who voted yes don't feel as you do.

I never attacked you.  You attacked my intentions in your first letter.  You 
seem to want to make me doubt the friendship i have with several Muslims.
Sorry Mr. Dodd, but you can't do that.  I realize that you are quite
different from the people I have encountered, and I thank God for that.

Censoring the message of Islam.  Funny, I remember denying only one article
which contained an inflammatory remark.  That article was rewritten and posted
the same day.  I habitually post things I receive the same day I get them.
If this is censorship, then I must have the wrong definition in my dictionary.
