   Would you mind if I inquired as to how frequently? I realize you would   
   prefer to see   
   this thread go inactive, so don't answer if you would prefer not to.   
      
      
   ---   
   I can't speak to the frequency of it, but my last post to the list that    
   wasn't a reply about something Walter Koenig said regarding the show, never    
   showed up, and when I emailed a moderator I was told that it didn't hit    
   their system. This has been a problem here for several years now -- someone    
   who has a better archive and was posting here more often can tell you when    
   this particular problem popped up, though I remember it was after when I    
   lost my sight that that message came through, and I was out of commission    
   for about a year after that happened in terms of using the computer, so it    
   was more recently than the summer of 2004.   
   I get the impression that the server goes down from time to time or locks    
   up, and then nothing gets through, so that could be a reason as well. Like I    
   said before, moderated newsgroups are a kludge on normal usenet traffic, so    
   sometimes less than optimum things happen. I'm on another mailing list    
   that's moderated simply to eliminate crossposting, and that newsgroup gets    
   about two orders of magnitude more spam than I get on any other newsgroup,    
   simply because messages have to go through an email process to get    
   moderated, so like I said above, it's often a less than optimum process.   
   Furthermore, it's also of almost no importance. This is a free forum without    
   advertizing and only volunteer effort, and no one is going to lose their    
   home, dinner, clothing, or water over it, so it's just window dressing. And    
   Jay's response to you was because he finally got some time to respond and    
   you were rather offensive about it all, so let's not get all victimy here.    
   The simple truth is that you had something go not right, you thought it was    
   enemy action instead of happenstance, and so, from what you've said, you    
   then decided they were persecuting you for some reason and got defensive.    
   Might be an ID response working here -- it often is in these situations. But    
   I've traded emails with Jay on rare occasions, and on Amy far more often,    
   and one thing that impressed me about both of them was their integrity --     
   they don't filter anyone based on their own opinions, only on the stated    
   rules that were put in place for JMS's safety when this group  was created.    
   And since that is mainly an issue of posting story ideas, and I can't see a    
   decent story idea relating to Claudia's memoirs and allegations of same, I    
   doubt you were "censored" for posting it.  And before you go into the whole    
   "protecting Joe" angle, Joe doesn't need any protecting -- he's dealt with    
   far greater questions about his integrity than what Claudia suggested. And    
   everyone knows that he's the one to clear up such things, keeping in mind    
   Vorlon commentaries on the truth.   
   Now, mayhap, was there something you would like to say about the show? I    
   can't believe we're coming up next year on the fifteenth anniversary of the    
   end of it.
