Or try "alt.binaries.pictures.teen-fuck". Tell me THAT's not obvious on its face.
Our routers haven't a clue whether or not a packet belongs to an email message or a USENET article let alone whether it is tagged with the above-mentioned newsgroup identifier or whether its content has been correctly tagged by that identifier. And our news server doesn't have much more of a clue regarding content. It essentially acts as a router for traffic on TCP port 119 attached to a sizeable buffer cache. We are in the business of transporting bits without regard to the semantics encoded in those bits. Off topic opinion: IMHO it is not possible and never will be possible to have automated systems filter content. Filtering content is the job of human beings with job titles like "editor", and "reviewer". Automated systems will make it much simpler to apply the opinions of editors and reviewers but the human element will always be an essential element in any system for filtering content and such systems will always work best when they focus on selecting the best content rather than on banning the worst content. ******************************************************** Michael Dillon voice: +1-650-482-2840 Senior Systems Architect fax: +1-650-482-2844 PRIORI NETWORKS, INC. http://www.priori.net "The People You Know.
