Judge for yourself: I have been asked not to express *any* points of view
relating to "applications", "solutions" or "technologies" in this forum
as, apparently, it is "inappropriate" to mention such topics here.

I would class that as being inconsistent with any reasonable notion of
"free speech".

If you want to continue this discussion, please feel free to e-mail me
privately - I do not intend to say any more on this matter in this list.
