Censorship

[Koontz John E]

Somebody at ag.ch probably isn't getting all their mail?

Connie's message with -s*h*i*t- in it (homophonous only, anyway, not the
real thing) seems to have been quarantined, whatever that means.  You can
pick it up at the archive site if pseudo-scatologically inclined:

    http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/siouan.html

I assure the authorities at ag.ch that no irreparable harm will ensue from
reading this message. I'm surprised Bruce Ingham's comments about loins
slipped through.
