A plea from the heart. Please don't subject this mailing list to any more drivel, Pleeeeease! Although I have not looked I am sure there are many adequate forums for the "Porn is Good" / "Porn is Bad" discussion. freebsd-questions is not the place. I thought long and hard before posting this. Even this is not appropriate but some imbeciles just don't stop. So I am hope I am forgiven; I let the annoyance get to me! Regards, Kulraj Gurm ps. If you feel compelled to reply to this with strong emotion (and I sincerely hope not) and you have an ounce of self respect - keep the response of the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: "c. schindler" <cschindl@wam.umd.edu> To: "Jeremiah Gowdy" <jgowdy@home.com> Cc: <michael@tenzo.com>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, April 13, 2001 7:53 AM Subject: Re: Pornography on Yahoo > i hear you. > > On Thu, 12 Apr 2001, Jeremiah Gowdy wrote: > > > > sounds like someone is having a bad day. > > > > > > > It's always a bad day when I have to deal with moral bigotry. > > > > > -------------- > > > chris > > > news for free-bsd questions, stuff that really matters > > > > > > On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, Jeremiah Gowdy wrote: > > > > > > > > Based on the Friends I've known, I'd cut her some slack.
