Subject: NJNP is jumping the gun a bit. My board IS moderated, and I've asked the posters if they prefer a password system or moderated status. I'm tired of the lunatics, assholes and morons that drop by, and letting every post stay up, no matter how insulting or stupid, is NOT an option on my board. If the idiots can't police themselves, I'll have to.

[> [> And NJNP's IS up on my board, as it's legitimate discussion. PJE's recent posts are up also, though I wish he'd held off calling a poster an idiot just because PJE disagreed with him. -- GMG, 11:39:39 06/21/01 Thu
