Yep.  (Digging back into my memory...)

I seem to recall that sometime after Christmas there was some back and 
forthing about some posts made by Dave (the guy who says that sex should 
be open in Christianity...or stuff like that).

There was, at the time, a Primenet admin named (I think) Chris.  He looked 
at some of Dave's posts and decided that they were spam, regardless of the 
fact that the posts did have application in all the newsgroups they were 
sent to (although some connections were tenuous).  

I also seem to recall that Chris (or equivalent) did indeed cancel some 
posts (or at least limited the newsgroups that they were posted to).  

I remember posting at the time in defense of Dave, even though I disagree 
totally with the claims he makes.

Feel free to correct me on any of the particulars.  I am not aware of 
the outcome of this situation, since I spent most of the next month out 
of town on business and did not read news much during that time.
