Now that stargate is available, I'm very interested in finding out what
is being sent down the wire...

As the moderator of two (maybe three) groups, I would also like to 
announce that I have decided *not* to allow my groups to be sent via 
stargate.  This is to protect not only myself but the people who post 
to the groups from any possible legal action due to it being over the 
public airwaves now rather than an explicit, requested, point-to-point 
system that UUCP was.

The groups I moderate are "mod.comp-soc" and "mod.conferences".  

I would like to hear from others on their feelings on this issue, and 
would like to encourage Lauren (the main person behind stargate) to 
engage a lawyer to write up a brief on the legal ramifications of 
information sent over public airwaves and the culpability of the
various parties involved therein, especially in the areas of defamation
of character and such.  (Having it scrambled is not enough to avoid this,
and there is legal precendence too, I believe)
