[can-talk] Censorship

Now that the big gatekeepers have gone to the opposition obscurity they so
richly deserve, there is no need for little gatekeepers.

Professionals should have a forum to express whatever they want to, even
doilies, without censorship.

And since when is Horsham remote?

  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?

  regards
