There are actually a number of reasons that this issue ran into trouble
including that much of it was post period, a number of inaccuracies and
yes, interpretations of the US postal codes on pornography. Whether you 
disagree or not, they are still the rules we have to abide by in mailing
a journal such as the Compleat Anachronist. Frankly from what I've heard
and from what I saw in a quick look through a copy of CA #13, it is not
a volume worth fighting over.

For those who would like to hear more about the controversy and why
certain decisions were made, or at least the explanations given now
from both sides, take a look at this file in the SCA-STORIES section
of my Florilegium:
CA13-msg          (36K)  2/ 3/97    The story behind the infamous CA 13. (the
                                      one on period pornography).

Yes, there is more in the Florilegium than just cooking stuff. :-)
