Now this is an interesting "1984-ish" attitude. It seems that I remember
something about rewriting history in that story, too. So, now we just
delete our words, remove our e-mail address and "we don't exist anymore."
It's certainly an interesting "online world", isn't it.

What's curious to me is how closely related to Chip Rosenthal (that ugly
censor in Austin, Texas) you are. It's peculiar that you were tremendously
offended at censorship here -- but not in your own backyard.

I'm smelling something real fishy here. There might be something a bit
more than meets the eye with this story.

Does your news server allow forged cancels? That promotes censorship
on content. A UseNet Death Penalty was issued because of my warning
about a crooked ISP -- ** Texas.Net ** -- cheating the customers.
Complain in a post to austin.internet about the UDP and censorship!!
