It sounds like you want to censor UseNet and you want to be the god that gets to do that.
It sounds to me like you disagree with free speech and the right to decide what happens on private property - unless its what YOU demand others do.
I think UseNet will survive you as it has survived everyone else. Everyone will OPT you OUT. I'm curious of several things. 1.) Did you consult any Internet standards group or organization about your plan for UseNet?
Why should I? This isn't a standard.
2.) What is your motivation political or profit? Or do you answer to a higher authority?
Excuse me? That question made no sense; my views on this matter, and Usenet in general, are hardly new, as anyone who has known of me for the last 10 or so years is well aware. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) http://www.mcs.net/~karl I ain't even *authorized* to speak for anyone other than myself, so give up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.
