[Vision2020] Censorship

[Paul Rumelhart]

My guess is that the word "help" is a keyword that the list 
administration software looks for.  I haven't tried to verify this, 
though.  I think other subjects are probably keywords also, such as 
"subscribe" or "unsubscribe".

The aim is probably to keep emails that are about administrative 
concerns ("administrivia") from clogging the list.  Presumably, someone 
at FSR who administrates the list verified that it was a real post and 
not a request for help from the system administrator, and they approved 
the message which then sent it to the list.
