CompuServe Messages

Don, I have a real flame here over what I consider censorship by one of the forum Sysops (if it was you then you'll know about the rest of this and if it wasn't you then I think you should be aware of what happened). I posted a message #10954 and its continuation #10955 in Hot News and Rumours. The content of the message was fairly important I thought and in an effort to ensure that it was read by as manypeople as possible I entitled the message "1.3 is shipping NOW!". In the very first paragraph I explained that the message was not in fact about 1.3 being shipped but rather this was an effort to ensure that people did read the message. An hour after I posted the message I checked the message base and found that the subject header on the oKNinal message had been changed to "No Way" on the original message and 1084S on the continuation. I assume that the only one who could do this is a Sysop. Now get on your asbestos suit……I very strongly OBJECT to my message header being changed. It is true that the header was not reporting a fact and was intended as a ruse. However it was not in my opinion an inflammatory, derogatory, obacene or libelous heading and I don't think it should have been changed. Such a ploy is commonin the advertising world. The only very weak argument that could be used by whoever did it is that he didn't want to have people just read the header and start spreading the word <continued>
