Guaranteed to be my last comments on this topic:

1. Yes, libraries and censorship are issues in our world.  So are hunger, 
pollution, wars, and lots of other interesting things.  But, this 
particular issue has nothing to do with the WEB for libraries.  In 
addition, you'd be assuming that the owners of the list in question read 
this one, cared what was said here, or even care what the rest of us think.

2. Moderation of a list is no more "censorship" than the New York Times 
failing to publish every submitted letter, or Library Quarterly failing to 
publish every submitted article.

cheers
