I think this idea of closing newgroups because they carry illegal material is
a bit strange. It's not the newsgroup that's at fault. If it's pictures, they
can very well be posted somewhere else, or be spread through mail (which
I believe already happens). No one (I think) would carry the idea of closing
a road because people drive too fast, or would anyone? If illegal material
is posted, sue the poster, don't shut the distribution channel.
