Todd, after some of the wars that have run through the various Rec.Av
groups, your claim is - well, quaint. Amusing. Charming. Like a 4
year old girl explaining to the mailman that kissing a boo-boo makes
it better. And while somewhere on paper it may be correct, here in
the real world it's about as true as Ptolemy. You can cite charters -
we've dealt with lawsuits.

Some ISP somewhere might yank your access for being off topic. Maybe.
But I doubt it. Alt.net - where Bertie is posting from - most
certainly won't, that's one of the reasons they exist.


God bless 'em. Sniff!


Mine - the
cursed Adelphia at the moment - won't. Google won't. AOL won't.
They might if you were genuinely spamming the usenet - but spam on
usenet is pretty much suppressed technically these days.


I'm tempted to introduce him to some... interesting people, but I haven't
the time. I gotta go make a wing.
