I am doing this so that list members do not receive off-topic emails. I will approve on-topic emails.
Alain, I appreciate your intentions. I receive very few messages from this server, and few enough in general, that off-topic messages would not be a problem for me to receive. Further, Luke's current health situation concerns me, as I have had considerable difficulty with my own situation in receiving effective care.
I recognize that this may not be the case for other members of the list.
Is there some sort of switch you could flip so that I could receive unmoderated messages, even if the rest of the group does not? I may not agree with what he says or believes, but I would still like to hear him out. It's the way I was raised, to hear all sides of a story and try to piece together the truth from that, as best one can, when there is a dispute, and to respect all people I encounter unless they make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to do so. Luke has not (yet?) alienated himself in such a manner, to me, that I feel the need to 'cut him loose' as it were, and I'd appreciate the ability to at least hear him out, if only in the hope that at some point he may make some progress towards recovery and perhaps not burn absolutely every bridge he's ever had.
