"USENET is a public forum that should be open to all..."

Indeed.  First it is CD-ROM with "Porn."  Sooner or later it is going to be
CD-ROM containing text to Huck Finn, Catcher in the Rye, etc.

Everytime a new form of media comes up, hordes of people line up
to tell you what's good and what's bad, and what should be carried
on it and what should not.  

BTW, what about Alt.sex.*?  Alt.pictures.erotica.*?  Are you going to ban
these newsgroups too?  

IMHO, of course.
