I don't understand.  Are you suggesting that I have disclosed material 
from FreeBD, Geoff?  I don't see FreeBD, and have no knowledge of what 
goes on there.  Any responses I made are to material posted publicly on 
the newsgroups.

Perhaps you should draw our attention to whatever material is there that 
you feel is "FreeBD secret".  Then we can stop discussing it ...

Such a thing hadn't crossed my mind.  But I do spend time on Compuserve 
and AOL forums, and I often find these moderated forums have more solid 
information than can be found on comparable unmoderated usenet groups.  
Similarly, the moderated download areas are almost completely free of 
copyright material or virus-infested programs.

If you have a problem with moderated newsgroups, Geoff, this could be an 
interesting new thread .. but I don't see that it has much to do with the 
current AUP thread.

: the context given).

Gosh, this puts a whole new light on things.  You must recall how Dim 
Kleiner used to brag on these newsgroups about how he used to hang around 
the now-defunct fetish bar, Boots.  I had this image of the principals of 
his former schools showing up with their canes and straps to discipline 
naughty boy Dim.

I never for a moment thought it was grammatically incorrect.  :-)

: 	increasing liability of the freenet is a BIG error.

The liability is there now.  An AUP will have the effect of controlling it.
