[Peace-discuss] Your message to Peace awaits moderator approval

[C G Estabrook]

Karen—

Read the description of the list as established by <chambana.net <http://lists.chambana.net/>>: 

"'peace' is an AWARE mailing list for announcements and calls to action relating to anti-war, anti-racism and other AWARE issues. 
AWARE meeting minutes are also posted to this list. Posts from non-list-members are moderated to cut down on SPAM."

My censored posts obviously fit that description. 

Further, AWARE has authorized no one to censor its email lists.
