Burmanet censorship is over!!!

Reply-To: "Maung Maung Than" <@one.net.au>

Dear Free Speech lovers ,
What a surprise! I got this good news from Burmanet editor saying that it is
no longer moderated since the beginning of September this years around 9999.
But you need to send the message from member account. If it is true I really
appreciate them for the great decision of changing the Burmanet policy  back
to normal  and long-standing dispute of  Burmanet censorship is over. Please
have a look at the following reply message from Burmanet editor.
