WHAM. WHAM. Maybe DiFi will draft some legislation requiring that all monitors be fitted with safety screens for your protection and to save the llamas... Never underestimate the potential of your congresscritters to write stupid laws. With a combination of the kiddie-porn issue, the hate-crime bandwagon and the RIAA, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone proposes the "Usenet Safety Act" or similar. That should encourage a few more service providers to drop news entirely. -- Malcolm Hoar malch@malch.com Kant spell Neetchie
