censorship would it be if posts were deleted (or not filtered on the ML 
server). Not Answering to posts is a decision that everyone can make for 
himself. If only 2 people are talking instead of 20, the noise generated 
is much smaller.

And follow some rules.

En exampl would be: "here is not the place to talk about recipes, go to 
chefkoch.de for that". Its absolute ok to say "please don't talk about 
technical details on the newbies@ list, please go to dev@". And the same 
way it's ok to say "talk@ is not the place for license discussion, go to 
legal@". I can't see any censorship in that.
