Does it? Does her rights (or Jason Blacks or many others who post here)
give them the right to post anything they want regardless of who the
audience might be? These are general newsgroups frequented by quite a
range of people of all ages and I do worry about who might be reading
some of the posts in here and I keep wondering if there shouldn't be a
charter for these groups (the Canadian *.general groups) to keep them
mostly clean.

Just asking.
