I disagree.  Uunet is a business, and can do anything it wants to.  The
communication links they carry aren't regulated by the government, so far as
I know, and they aren't a public utility, so they're free to cut off anyone
that they want.

Y'all are just afraid to take on the task of pressuring an organization as
large as uunet, perhaps for fear of retribution??  Seems pretty silly, really.
