Dear Frederick,
In an effort to give a real example of the "censorship" on another
newsgroup, I enclose this example. It was mine but you may use it (or not)
if you want.

>Dear Nancy,
>While not trying to post against your post, I would like to remind you that

>don't have a book? Becoming a Baha'i(on paper) doesn't make us a Baha'i in

>Also your post makes reference to "some" Baha'is that "may" still
>practice.....
>While I agree completely with your point of view, I lack your passion. Get
