This has nothing to do with censorship - with an officially recognised
consitution there are actually rules in place to stop people from
claiming to represent ILUG when they don't (at the moment for example
there is nothing stopping me from going on to RTE News, claiming to be
speaking of behalf of ILUG and then saying that the Microsoft Trial is a
very Bad Thing for the computing industry). People are welcome to
hold that opinion, but they shouldn't present it as an offical ILUG
policy.
