call it ">H uncensored"). There have been some
concerns about the effect of certain topics on
transhuman PR, and this would solve the problem
without compromising the quality of debate
(censorship of any kind, no matter how reasonable
or well-meant, is a killer of critical debate).
The proposed list would also have a restricted
(password etc.) archive, of course."

Let's say an imaginary "Mr. X" wanted to post a
"uncensored" message to the list, what - in the
purely hypothetical sense - might that message
consist of?
