   ATTENTION FOOL! No one, and I mean no one (other than Bill Wisner)
is even CAPABLE of censoring *anything* on Love-Hounds/rec.music.gaffa!

   (If censorship was possible, we would be free of the flood of spammage
that has infested this group in the past months.)

   I've been accused of this before, with the same total lack of thought
on the part of the accuser. Show how I am censoring, or even show how
I *could* censor posts based on any criteria whatever and I'll give you 
a prize....this lovely 3' pile of AOL floppies right here beside me!

   When did the Internet start expanding into parallel dimensions?

   Uh...have you ever read a BOOK?!? The founding of the United States
dates back to the Declaration of Independence (arguably to the ratification
of the Constitution). Were you refering to a different country?

   The "Father of His Country" George Washington had this to say,
June 10, 1797.
 
  "...the government of the United States of America is not in any
sense founded on the Christian Religion..."  

   The Pilgrims (a grimmer bunch of pills you couldn't hope to find - AKA
The Society of Separatists) were opposed to any form of freedom...all 
forms of music were banned...people were punished for not attending chruch. 
As they came to the Colonies 156 years before the American Revolution, 
they had nothing to do with it.

   I promised to drop it (for now) and I will keep my word.
