Why aren't the sysops required to get screened?  Is the public aware that
CompuServe allows TOTAL STRANGERS to safeguard their children?  CompuServe
dropped the ball on this one.<

>.. if CompuServe doesn't run a background check on these people and their
names to even verify the identities, these people who "safeguard" youngsters
can easily be childmolestors.  Recording fake names is absolutely no measure
for protecting CompuServe children.  Admit it.<

>My point is that there is no area on the Internet that is more safe than
any other, as far as protecting children goes.  This is a no-brainer Dave.
CompuServe can pretend all it likes but it isn't anymore family orientated
than any other service.  Admit it.<

>Usually, volunteers are not allowed to perform critical/sensitive
functions.  However, CompuServe lets STRANGERS monitor children.  That's a
BIG problem.<

>Dave, volunteers who provide critical services, such as handle child-safety
measures, need to be screened by CompuServe and be supervised, else these
STRANGERS can be doing who knows what with children on the Internet!
CompuServe dropped the ball on another issue.<

Darnell, okay.  I'll keep chi.internet off of future cross-post lists.  But
you have to admit, CompuServe is dead wrong on this issue.
