So long as the BBS issues are really being discussed, then the discussions
have a place here (but it's not clear that they really need to be on both
lists -- I suspect that INFO-MICRO alone would be adequate and would
avoid many duplicate messages).  However, as the discussion starts
to stray into the more general topics of "freedom of speech," the
switch to POLI-SCI is in order.  As you no doubt are aware, these discussions
can stray far away from they original topics over time, which often results
in many persons dropping off of lists since they are not terribly interested
in the "strayed" discussions.  The people over on POLI-SCI are probably in
a better position to comment on many of the issues involved in the BBS
question, as would be many people on INFO-LAW.  Both of those lists are open
to anybody who might wish to join.
