You bought it and paid for it in the USA, right? Uncle Sam may disagree with your vehemence. Not knowing much about Canada's legal system, though, your perspective may be different. But it *isn't* just race, race is just an *example*. What if you decided to discriminate against gun owners who talk on your BBS about hunting beavers? And the Canadian version of the NRA gets legal about it and hauls you into court? What then? The key is that you're providing a *PUBLIC* service. By doing so, you give the government a RIGHT to interfere. -- Scott
