    The removal of the very helpful and very knowledgeable Ron Huttner from
    the Law-Lib discussion group will say for more about the Law-Lib list than
    it will about Ron Huttner. Librarians often oppose censorship by
    government and media, but censorship is apparently not a problem on law
    librarian discussion groups.
