OK.  So somebody at UT can't call himself providing a service.  Happy
now?

>This is why I keep saying you people don't understand free speech.

Interesting form of free speech you believe in.  Anybody can say
anything he wants, except if he's at UT, he can't say he's providing a
service.  You're right, I don't understand.

Is it more or less controlling than the "Dave Hayes makes the rules"
paradigm?

(At least this way, since I have some money, I get to make some of the
rules.  Since I'm not Dave Hayes, the other way, I'd get to make none.)
