"I have been censored plenty of times" is a very serious accusation, and one that
should not be made lightly.

Were messages of yours removed or suppressed?

Keep in mind that having your messages ignored on mailing lists is just a normal
part of daily life. Perhaps your issue was not interesting to others or simply
poorly presented, or perhaps one that is more than adequately covered in the FAQ.

But sure, if you feel your needs would be better served by starting a mailing list
or other service of your own, there is nobody stopping you from doing just that.

I suspect that the effect of the message I am making the utterly poor choice of
following up on will be that people who would likely be able to provide valuable
input on any OpenBSD relevant issue you might raise will choose to filter away
messages from "Anon Loli" so they will not waste any time reading those pieces of text.
