This (uucp-net) is a privately owned, privately funded network. It
has some government funded sites on it, but as a network it is no more
publicly funded than the phone company, which the government pays to make
calls via.

An entirely different point. If you are calling for the removal of
publicly funded institutions from the network, say that. If you are
saying the private owners of the net should not allow for-profit
postings, that is up to them to decide.
