Hi Matthew
cc auDA CEO

I made it very clear that the views I expressed were my own.  I also
explained the reasons I held those views.  Many lists are moderated.  It is
not unusual.  Neither is it censorship in a free and open society, imo.

My point was simply that the list should not be used for issues unrelated to
the Australian DNS.  However, perhaps you are right and the list should be
unmoderated.  I therefore withdraw my request to the CEO of auDA.

Please let me know if you ever change your mind ;-)

Best regards
