Does this highly disputable matter really belong to the open discussion
on the list? May be Doug being the list mater can simply say his word
that will be final on the matter?
I don't understand what's disputable about it?
United States law says that for a list server physically located
within the borders of the U.S., the U.S. government cannot prosecute
the listmiester for something a list member posts on the list. Under
some limited circumstances they might be able to require Doug to scrub
certain offending material off his server.
Another country may choose to prosecute its own citizens for what they
post on this list or may choose to block access to the list within
their own borders, but they can't do anything to the listmiester here
in the U.S.
not legally that is.
