Pete, I guess you do what you think you must do, BUT, I have a lot
of trouble with the idea that someone operates an “open” forum and
feels the need to hide. That concept really bothers me. I post my
name and callsign every time I post to a reflector, and I am very
suspicious about the intentions of someone who feels the need to
hide in the shadows.
Amen, Mike. I found it curious that Tom knew the reasons why I got
"unsubscribed" / jackbooted from AMPS without the reasons having been
posted.

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.
