New definition of the word "mine" :-)

Is it surprising that lsuc (Law Society...) would seek the administrative rather
than the technical solution? :-)

Much as I would like to see the facilities offered by MBAS's available, I, too,
agree that the potential for abuse is such that it is not likely to find a
feasable way to keep the concept in general. Too bad. If the non-Internet sites
are lucky, then the major providers like uunet will react quickly to the need
and come up with something reasonable. I would suggest something like the 1 hop
criterion, or maybe a file at the provider similar to a paths file where an
entry in the file indicates a legal path for a request.
