I was not trying to defend the banned groups. I was pointing out that there are several *other* groups which should also be banned based on their name. Those other groups were *not* banned, so iSTAR is just full of shit. I agree completely with your extension of my analogy, and if iSTAR were really serious about protecting their butts, they should have banned many more newsgroups than they did. Instead, they caved in to some moron of a lawyer's play for political points. -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant scott@galileo.cuug.ab.ca http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 5 days.
