It seemed far less boring than other lists created by users with "oh guess what people did today" and "really, me too! I agree!" posts all the time. This list seemed more "real-life" if that makes any sense at all. Now, it's moderated. Honestly, I don't see the point. What went on in this list could go on person-to-person anyway. Darn, does that mean if someone doesn't like what I say I could get a moderator sent to my house? Someone doesn't like it they censor me? Dictatorship actually. What's a little critism? It's not like we don't face it in life anyway. Oh well, I'm new anyway. I just felt like saying something about it. So.....hi everybody! How's everyone today? :) Shannon >From: Joe Earles >Reply-To: Joe Earles >To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM >Subject: What if your words could be judged like a crime?
