GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD : THERE IS NO EVIL PORNOGRAPHY ON
NEWTONTALK.NET!
We were not pushing pornography on the list - we were discussing the
issue of pornography and the fact that it EXISTS FOR THE NEWTON and
their MIGHT BE DEMAND FOR IT - would you rather we collate all the
"evil" material together on one site, which CAN be protected from
access by minors - or rather leave it all where it is, out in the open,
strewn amongst several person's personal servers?
Now, if Victor took the time to bulk email all of us pornographic
.pkg's on this list, with misleading descriptions and filnames you
might have a case. Since that isn't happening I ask you do what many of
us have done: send the offending emails (in your case, anything
addressed to newtontalk_at_newtontalk.net ) and route em straight to your
trash folder - POOF even until you are actually removed from the
mailing list the unwanted mail will be erased - just as several of us
are doing with yours.
You don't have to come here and preach at us, nor do we have to read
it. We don't have to come here and contradict you - nor do you have to
read it. I choose to read newtontalk, and you have CHOSEN NOT TO
ALREADY - SO WHY DO YOU PERSIST IN RESPONDING WITH YOUR DOGMATIC
<censored>!!
