Re: [Bug-gnupedia] Self-censorship and XML data.

Quite alright Paul! We need some more opposition here
anyways :)
When I said nonsense, perhaps I was being a bit
stereotyped with the old "porn" issue! :) 
What I meant by nonsense was if somebody submitted
something that was a link to their homepage, or a big
page of pictures of themselves nude, which they
intended to use as a cunning way around certain
agreements on Xoom and other free hosting places. That
sort of thing. If its an article about how Aliens
landed in Roswell and are in Area51, or anything else,
even that English guy who denied the holocaust....
anything goes, just so long as it is "something", if
you see what I mean :-)
