This may be my first and last post on this list, but I wanted to clear
a few misconceptions:
Tom Rausch is not the Admin of Amps. I'm not either ;^)
W4AN was not a fan of free speech - he replaced me as Admin of
Towertalk when I refused to censor posts there; this is not a knock on
Bill, just a difference of philosophy.
I run a local community affairs mailing list with only two rules - sign
your real name and maintain basic civility - keep it substantive, not
personal. In 6 years, I've had to ban one person for a week. A
parallel list has no such rules, and has disintegrated into ugly name-
calling.
From what I have read, such a regime on amps would have worked pretty
well, though the Admin would have had to ban a few people.
