Hi,

First of all, stop phoning indymedia volunteers. All you are doing is
convincing us that you are indeed a deranged stalker. If you continue to
do this, I'll ask that you be removed from indymedia email lists.

> I've little patience awaiting e-mailed response to matters requiring instant attention.

Why do they require 'instant attention' David? Our email server is overloaded, 
so you'll have to wait 3-4 hours per email I'm afraid.

> Indymedia provides a global forum for ANYONE to air ANYTHING they wish. Hiding files is censorship.

Err, no. Thats a fundamental misconception that most spammers have of
indymedia. I suggest that you read:

http://www.indymedia.org.nz/about.php3
http://www.indymedia.org.nz/openpub.php3

Can you tell me where it says "Indymedia provides a global forum for 
ANYONE to air ANYTHING they wish"? Nope thought not.

It's not news.

> (ii)  4790     " Mohammed al Sahhed Saharf."

It's not news.

It's not news.

It's not news.

It's a *news* wire. Angry 2 line rants don't cut it I'm afraid. All they do is
push relevent information further down the wire. Feel free to post
that kind of stuff as comments on relevent articles.

The editor that hid them should have posted a comment on the bottom of
each article, explaining why they were hidden. Sorry about that.

> Consider hard your response.

The editorial team has considered hard, and we have decided to add you
to our list of spammers. That means that instead of talking about posts
before we hide them, they are hidden straight away and talked about
later.

So you are free to post on the site now, but if you disrupt the newswire
in any way, your posts will be hidden.
