Let me get this straight -- You've been posting here since pre-archive days
[early 1994], having submitted thousands of messages, and now because of
automated "your message is on hold" responses to -TWO- messages, you're
jumping to the conclusion that you are being [unfairly or otherwise]
"censored" and are therefore planning on leaving the list without further
investigation?  That's not like you...

You, of all people, should know and understand that e-mail is not a "secure"
nor "guaranteed" channel for communications -- "stuff" happens, as they
say...

Furthermore, this general thread ("all good things...") is usually an
indication that someone is leaving the list for the plain-and-simple reason
that they no longer have access to or work upon an HP3000; with your
long-standing association with system backup solutions that work well on the
HP3000, someone seeing this subject and your name associated with it might
come to the conclusion that your company suddenly decided to drop that
product -- a far scarier thought than "gee, maybe he really is being
censored..."
