Actually, I don't believe Altopia has total control of its AUP as a whole. It
trumpets about giving its customers "freedom", and then specifically lays down
the law about not being able to do this, this, and this, under penalty of death.
Posts that have this type of content will result in net.execution. Posts that
are deemed "inappropriate" (by who? The Easter Bunny?) will be thrown back in
your face as an example of "net abuse".

Hell, according to a mail I read recently, it seems that *anything crossposted
to alt.fan.karl-malden.nose*, regardless of content or relevance, is hereby
deemed inappropriate. It smacks of discrimination.
