I am the "owner" of the Pound list.  I don't know the technical
terminology, so please excuse any non-cypberspeak locutions in what
follows.  Anyway:  I do not screen any of the messages that appear on
the list.  I wouldn't know how to screen them, even if I wanted to,
although I suppose that someone on the technical support staff here at
the University of Maine could help me out, if I asked.  But I began the
list with the understanding that anyone who wanted access to it would
have such access, and I remain committed to that principle. Better no
list at all than one that is subject to the control of one individual.
I certainly found the posting in question offensive.  I have found
several other postings offensive, over the history of the list. I find
a significant potion of Pound's own pronouncements offensive. But I
don't believe that I have the right to censor Pound or the contributors
to this list.
