If you like your information to be neatly ordered, of consistent quality and volume, perhaps you should consider buying a newspaper. Usenet may not be the right medium for you. > Since you have a vast background knowledge here of the situation, > perhaps you'd do better to read the aus.general charter (agreed > on by USENET vote too most likely). A good question Tom. Was the charter agreed by a Usenet vote? > The cancels aren't censorship (the revdoc ones anyway) more like > whitewashing graffiti off the walls. You are _supposed_ to scribble on the Usenet walls. Thats what they are there for. It's rude to whitewash someone else's work. Having said that, it is also rude to demand huge chunks of the wall for your own personal use. It all comes down to a bit of give and take, just like in the real world. ...Dave
