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. There |will not be any facist admins to blame this time around - only those foolish |posters that could not control what they posted. I agree most strongly: let the poster beware (in his country, mind you). --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@CCS.YorkU.CA | lethe!dave 72 Abitibi Ave., | Oh ye who lead / Take Heed, Willowdale, Ontario, | Blindness we may forgive, CANADA. 416-223-8968 | But baseness we will smite.
