Off-topic material. Jim said Scott wouldn't allow his posts through to 
HOSEF-manager where their thread belongs. So Jim took it to LUAU. The 
posts seem to cover more HOSEF board related business and personal 
issues rather than *nix related things.

I see it more like protecting LUAU and the LUG. The most recent posts 
concern me greatly.

Which has led to people leaving the list or becoming disgusted with 
LUAU/HOSEF. I think stronger moderation is in order. Especially with the 
recent threats of lawsuits and personal information leaks.
