Then you misunderstand what the software is doing. 'Subscribe' merely means
'take notice of'. No actual information is sent to or received from the
server in doing this.

You've been told this is a lie. You seem unable to comprehend it. Some
little asshole, for reasons no one ever understood, decided to screw up this
news group by attracting as much spam and porn to it as he could. Tiring of
this, we all went over to a more secure system on a couple of mail lists and
a secure news server. One mail list was provided by me, the other by Dennis.

So far the porn flood has not resumed. But activity may attract it.

This is a lie. Show me any time or place where I have done or said anything
of the sort. All I offered was a place for people to go.

Another lie.

Another lie.

Another lie.

It's not your choice. You don't own this, or any other group.

Not if they find the rest of us. My Coco list 'ColorComputer' now has 383
members. I believe Dennis's list is similar. Since Bitnet is apparently
toast now, I suspect this list will not approach that number of active
members.
