Back in the USENET days we advertised that we carried acccess to all USENET groups. One day a customer called asking to speak to me and said he'd like to complain, we did NOT carry all USENET groups. I said ok which don't we carry, mistakes are possible, I'll add them. He got cagey. I said well how do you know we don't carry all groups if you can't seem to name which groups we don't carry? He continued to hem and haw. I said oh you mean like child porn? Well, he said, let's say that's so, it would still be fraudulent to claim you carry ALL groups if you don't carry those, right? I said wrong, if a druggist says he stocks all drugs that doesn't have to include illegal drugs. After offering him a reasonable refund i got him off the phone. As others have said let's hope that's all that's implied. On February 27, 2015 at 14:32 khelms@zcorum.com (Scott Helms) wrote:
While I view that statement with trepidation, my first guess would one that isn't in violation of state or federal law. About the only things I can think off hand, ie stuff we get told to take down as hosters today, are sites violating copyright law and child pornography. I hope that we don't see any additions to that list.

What's a "lawful" web site?
Now *there* is a $64,000 question. Even more interesting is, "Who gets to decide day to day the answer to that question?" :)
