I think Laurie has been unsubscribed unvoluntarily from two other lists (Veggie and Veg-Sci) and volutarily from one other (Vegan-L). This was the only remaining forum for his views that I knew of and he has a lot of interesting information to contribute. I appreciate your going through his submissions and selecting what was positive enough to post. I wish circumstances would allow you to continue to do so, but if it's a such a strain that continuing to do so could jeopardize the very existance of veg-raw then I support you in your decision, albeit sadly, as I consider Laurie to be a friend and a person deserving of a place amongst fellow raw-food advocates. I only hope that he doesn't feel too isolated now because of this decision of yours in the context of all the other unsubscribings that have occurred. > For this mailing list to work, subscribers need to take personal > responsibility for what they are posting. > If anyone wishes to continue discussion woth Laurie they can email him > directly at [log in to unmask] or participate in the > vegan-l mailing list.

He voluntarily unsubscribed from that list with no mention of him being one of the moderators in his goodbye note, and I don't recall that alleged status ever being mentioned on Vegan-L ever before.
