Yes, I understood that part of what you were saying included the fact
that "banning books" only attracts some people to them more. But **why**
were you saying that :)? You made a reference to the activities of a
group in Colorado in your original post, and since the post had a bit of
a "venting" tone (believe me, I know it well :) ), I figured that was
part of what was going on. And you did go on a bit beyond that
specifically about the efforts of the "religious" to ban books over here.
