[BLU/Officers] political correctness flame war on Discuss makes BLU and Linux look bad

[Jerry Feldman]

I'm not so sure since he works at MIT. The First Amendment Rights do not
transfer to members of a forum or listserv that is privately owned.

BTW: AFAIK, you can place any or all subscribers on moderation, but when
they send email it will tell them their message has been held by the
moderator.

Also, Mailman is written in Python and you can write or modify a Python
module to change things like that.
