Hi, John. Clearly the Internet is public, email isn't private and delete doesn't. = Thanks for the reminder, nonetheless. It is curious that while we do not have the right to "interfere" in = someone's business practices, as you state, by discussing them, they = apparently have the right, or power, to interfere in discussions on this = list, directly or indirectly, by suppressing them. This is a curious = inequity, from my perspective. By any chance, did you get a call, too?

If we for example post from a work location to this list or = any other, the e-mail we are posting is not ours especially but belongs as = the property of our employer. Furthermore, the organization does not have the right to interfere in anyone's business practices. Remember that your biggest weapon in this = area is your wallet. If you do not personally like the practices of any = agency or business then, as much as one can you choose not to purchase services = or products from that concern. Remember words are like bullets, once fired they can not be taken back = so use them carefully and let's bring this rather lengthy discussion to a = close with the understanding that we have no official position on this = situation because we are not in possession of the right to interfere in anyone's business practices.
