OWNERSHIP: Re: Proposal to Enlist a Moderator for the Ownership Group

["Rodney Shakespeare" <Rodney.Shakespeare1@btopenworld.com>]

Dear All,
Can I presume from this message from Bill Ryan that he will be refraining
from censoring my messages to the social credit elist unless I use abusive
language?

And does he now intend sending to that elist all of my messages he has
censored just because he did not like  their content?
