This is exactly the point.  iStar, as a private company in a free
enterprise country have 100% the right to decide what to provide on
their servers.  We might question the reasoning but not the action.
Beckers doesn't sell bondage mags (last I checked) and nobody cries
censorship.

Just go where you find what you want.  If iStar is aiming at Big Biz
getting rid of sex related items is almost mandatory.  Can you imagine
employees of My Big Biz settling back to peruse alt.sex.etcera while
the female President walks by.  hmmmmm

Not likely to be a long lasting account.

I notice that IO Brian is very quiet on this matter.  Perhaps memories
of the original killing of the warez groups and the present
non-posting of 15000 line articles?  No cries of censorship here at
IO!!

This is simply a business decision.  Solution costs 10 bucks a month
(or less).  Get another account at another provider.
