I find it funny IGS.NET censored the bouchard page owner
yet back in the days when magusheidrun@igs.net (Heidrun Wischniwsky)
was pumping out sex spams to ont.general, complaints
to Frank Kahle <frank@host.igs.net> (the name on a 
whois search of igs.net) met amadant refusals to
do anything about it until, what, Chris Lewis had
to threaten IGS with a UDP? This post from dejanews
reveals much. Why the sudden, ummm, change in heart?
