Dear fans,

It is with a great deal of regret that we now pull the plug on the

our aim is to bring the innocent pleasure of music to as many people as
possible. We can't allow those who lack civility to disrupt that aim by
abusing our fans nor can we be expected to police their discourse, so

That letter was in response to a fan (and at least 1 potential fan) being kicked off of the list. Of course, as in the past, a little letter like that (by itself) has no effect on a 'Moderator Nazi', so it was time to 'take the bull by the horns'. Click here - BitBuckethead.
