So they can't monitor IRC, FTP, and e-mail traffic yet they can monitor 6000+ (rough estimate) UseNet newsgroups and somehow screen what is contained within. If van.general was bombarded with illegal material for a matter of months that is crossposted from banned newsgroups, would van.general be up for removal/banning? : This really SHOULD be argued in court, and on that basis I would like : to see the full feed reinstated. -- +-------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Lawrence D.
