I'm trying to figure out what's going on here.  A warning comes that 
all list members must subscribe a particular theory about the 
authorship of 1 Peter, or risk being kicked off the list when they 
betray their unorthodox sentiments.  Then, lo and behold, list 
traffic dries up completely.  Does the silence indicate what majority 
opinion is with respect to this orthodoxy?  Does it also indicate 
that the censorship is proving to be successful?
