One of the great things about a competive marketplace like that which exists for internet access is you can just take your business elsewhere. I wouldn't be suprised if some customers do. Whether you agree with some of these newsgroups which may or may not contain offensive material, censorship is censorship plain and simple, and should be resisted im my opinion. Once you start censoring it is a slipperly slope down hill.
