I will soon be starting a BBS and have some questions for sysops
who operate BBS's which deal with controversial things (hacker
stuff, adult material, far-out politics...)

Have you encountered any legal harassment?  Or have the feds mellowed
out and learned something since Operation Sun Devil?

Have you encountered any anger/harassment from narrow minded people
who can't accept that other people believe different things?  Any
threatening letters?  Damage to your system...?

What has the experience been like overall?  Difficult...?

I look forward to hearing from others who have dealt with these issues.
Post replies, or send e-mail.

Thanks,
