Then cancel it so that it is not distributed in Canada by Canadian
newsservers to Canadian readers but don't speak for other countries
where it may or may not be against the law. I know it is technically
impossible but, at least, that's the reason it is _not_ "perfectly
in order" as you are saying. If you don't understand what I mean,
let me provide you with an analogy: If, say, in your house, you daily
insult your wife, drop butts on the floor and piss around the toilet
bowl, it doesn't mean you can do the same when you enter my house.
