I agree. But Tor Inc, and the so-called "volunteers" who run this and
other mailing lists, are choosing to not provide an uncensored mailing
list.  That doesn't match my prior expectation, but this is the reality.

tor-talk is about to be replaced with tor-users.

tor-users will be "lightly" censored".

tor-talk is going away.

One of grarpamp's links points to the tar trac ticket which explains all
this. The new tor-users list will be advertised to this list.
