Selectively suppressing matter that does not fit one's (moral, political, stylistic, religious, whatever) agenda *is* censorship.

Quite the opposite, in fact. If the FreeBSD developers make a collective decision that they don't want other people to be aware of software that isn't in line with exactly how they happen to look, think and talk, that's censorship. And it doesn't seem particularly welcoming to people with more liberal/relaxed attitudes than one's own. Fortunately, it's still possible to create one's own ports and to make the resulting packages available from one's own repositories. Therefore, I can't be bothered to be overly fussed when someone feels that FreeBSD ought to take a stance on morality. I find it unfortunate and think it's not the right way to go, but I'm accepting it and will gladly work around it, as is apparently necessary. Have a cookie, Fonz --=20 A.J.
