Centiare is free and open, and management will restrict freedom and openness only when they interfere with the safe and legal operation of Centiare.  Accordingly, Centiare is not a forum where [[free speech]] will be typically censored.  Management may make some mistakes, or proceed in a way that doesn't sit well with you.  We promise to listen to the concerns of the registered user community -- and sometimes the community will triumph, and sometimes management will elect to take a course unpopular with the community.
