It has come to my attention that some sysops on Pet-Net believe that there is a policy that phone numbers or addresses shall not be in uploads to the Pet-Net forum. This has manifested itself as FML issues containing them being deleted from Pet-Net. While time-based expiry is perfectly reasonable, content-based is not. Further, Bill was recently asked to pre-delete numbers and addresses before uploading FML issues to Pet-Net. As I am the moderator/editor of this mailing list, and responsible for its content, I cannot permit content-based editing outside of my control. I'd be abdicating my responsibilities to my subscribership. Even via proxy to someone I trust as much as Bill. As this information is often quite important to FML readers, until Pet-Net/whomever rethinks this policy, uploads to anywhere in GEnie is hereby prohibited. This is, in particular, but not limited to, Pet-Net and the National Videotex Network. Therefore I have asked Bill to stop uploading the FML to Pet-Net as of this issue. Direct FML email subscribers within GEnie will be unaffected. Those GEnie subscribers who wish to receive the FML are invited to send their subscription requests to the subscription address shown above. I deeply regret having to take this step, but I am sure you can appreciate my position. [Posted in FML issue 0541]
