  Alas, this isn't sufficient.  If you actively set out to select,
**you're responsible for whatever you do select**. 

  Right now I accept everything, without any conditions. I can therefor
claim I'm an innocent third party if someone uses news and my machines to
deliver anything (including state secrets), and can offer to help
track down the culprits, etc, etc.
  What I dare not do is start selecting/censoring/whatever, because by doing
so I accept responsability for what I let through...  something I
don't really want to do.

  I agree most strongly: let the poster beware (in his country, mind
you).
