Response to Censorship on this news group

Volker, I have read the thread you reference. I did not see the deleted post(s). I have no connection with anyone in the photo industry or this forum. This post is to clarify one point. We are all guests here of a privately owned bulletin board. It is the prerogative of the board's owner (and his/her agents) to censor at will. Free speech, at least here in the US, is definitely a basic right, but not broadcast on someone else's communication medium. The medium owner's right of free speech, including censoring what goes out on his/her board, is a higher right. IMHO.
