Only the moderator of the list in question can clarify that.  You'll
have to ask that person.

Hugh's messages are not censored.  They are bounced to the moderator
if they originate from the openbsd.org domain.  The moderator of the
port-vax mailing list has historically approved all of Hugh's posts,
and I have received word that this is the case for all recent posts
(unfortunately, there was a backlog in that moderator's queue).

At the very least, I would certainly not classify the message you cite
as constructive.  It was certainly "relevant" to the subject at hand,
but was filled with accusatory remarks and has an overly-aggressive tone.
That's generally not the ways adults carry on a conversation.

Especially that last paragraph -- I mean, no where in my mail (as you cite
here below) did I accuse you of being untrustworthy.  I did say that the
way the OpenSSH hole event transpired was not a trust-building experience,
but that is not the same thing as accusing you of being untrustworthy.

However, my opionion about the appropriateness of your message is
irrelevant.  The moderator of tech-security's is.
