Frank,



	I dont know where you get your information from, but they are

untruths.  There is no censorship on the DeTomaso Forum other than

"self-censorship" which you alone enforce when you decide to hit

the "send" or "delete" keys.



	The DeTomaso forum is not a moderated list.  No censorship, ever.



	If you have been told otherwise, it was by people who misunderstand

technology and the spirit of the Forum.  That is unfortunate, and the

spreading of rumours is irresponsible.



	I think it is great that Curt has started his own list.  The internet

is a free medium to do whatever one wants.  However I do ask certain

principles of contributors to this forum for many reasons.  One reason is

that all posts are archived at a web site and are available to anyone

who want to read them.  Anyone.  Would you want your spouse to read

the forum's posts?  How about your next boss?  Just one of the reasons to

keep posts clean, non-libellous and on-topic.  Always ask yourself this

question before submitting a post; "Would I stand in front of a person 

say this to them in front of 200 other people?"



	This Forum was formed to support DeTomaso enthusiasts everywhere,

and their appreciation of one of the finest automobiles ever built.  This 

is the Forum's only goal.
