%query[w89,jmc]		Questions for Ralph Gorin about censorship

1. With whom in the Stanford Administration was the censorship
discussed?  Did they discuss what material they found
objectionable and why?

2. Did they ask you to take the responsibility yourselves?

3. Who originally complained about rec.humor.funny?  What
specific examples of objectionable material were given?

4. Are any other bulletin boards to be put on the Index?
Why was rec.humor.funny singled out?

5. What's your personal opinion?

6. Have you looked at su-etc, and have you any reaction to
the opinions expressed?

	I regard the electronic bulletins as the prototype
of an electronic library and their censorship as analogous
to censoring the library.
