If netters at large are not morally opposed to such rumor colums in magazines (a big if, I'll grant you) would it be feasible to have a rumor moderator to send stuff to who vows to keep stuff strictly confidential? I suppose there would be a problem if the moderator can't be trusted, since he would know where the original articles came from, but maybe that could also be avoided. Is there a way to set up an FTP server which allows you to write to a specific directory? Just a thought. -Sho
