[can-talk] Censorship

As a curator in an non-museum organisation I is very beneficial to be
able to float a question or issue  via CAN talk.  There are so many
experienced museum, gallery and interpretation specialist out there and
it seems a total waste not to able to get comments, views and ideas from
them.
 
email is a great tool.. let's use it

	As it is early in the year, and I'm not yet too busy to deal
with this little irritation, I'll air it now. So could this please go
through for comment by those CAN talk is supposed to serve - us, the
subscribers. 
	 
	Since Can Talk replaced the AMOL listing I've tried several
times to make comments, only to be told by the "gatekeeper" that my
comments were not appropriate or should be elsewhere. 
	 
	I've always considered this a forum, especially useful for
people like me who are isolated from their colleagues and remote from
the large centres. Over the years I have really enjoyed the camaraderie
we had. But our little chats and comments have now gone. There's little
"talk".
	 
	I know we are all busy, and no-one appreciates being bombarded
by trivia, but really, if the only comments allowed relate to obscure
pieces of farm machinery, knitted doilies etc, then it becomes too dry
and discouraging of discussion.
	 
	What do you think?
