That's exactly what RadSafe is.

Again right. Post are not screened for accuracy. RadSafe is open to any
person (professional and non-professional) and to any view. As a moderator
I would like to keep RadSafe like this. This will give the best view about
the different opinions among subscribers. In my view we can learn from
those other views/opinions, no matter how ridiculous they might be or
sound. We can always use the delete key if we feel that's necessary.

I can't agree more. Please refer (as part of a fresh start of 2006) once
again to the RadSafe rules before posting a message. The rules can be
found at:

I definitely don't want to see and will avoid RadSafe moving towards a
Yahoo Group. I would like to keep this list open to everybody. However, I
will start to apply individual moderation of postings in case this type of
flaming shows up again.

With kind regards,
