Censoring Diana???

[Henry M]

There has been the suggestion that this is not a legitimate topic for 
the P-List. Would you have sent me a message like the one that you 
addressed to Diana, or would the subject have become PTA, suggesting 
perhaps that Diana is some sort of soccer/academic, even though she 
(as far as I remember) doesn't have any children?

I have often seriously disagreed with Diana, but believe that the 
section that you chose to quote here is right on the money. If the 
topic had been the superbowl and the industrial nature of organized 
sports...?
