Hm. Problem with that logic is, (1) I have a huge ethical problem with people
using community resources to advertise for-profit services. Even though CFN is
not funded mainly by public money from taxpayers, it is a community service
and can be taken down at any time. (2) Multiverse's posts bogged down CWRU's
computers in a big way and may have caused computers to crash. COmplaining
about that is not quite the same as complaining because "your pristine
mailbox is overflowing with spam." However, CWRU should be able to ban
*.multiverse.com just as easily as APK and NACS (and I think they should
kick Rishaw off).
