They can't. They can only be required to restrict their own
customers and they can only be cut off from access to usenet
if they fail to do so.

Bull****. Mine will alllow m to post anything I want here, including
binaries and "the Cabal" won't touch them for it.

Reread what Todd said. The fact of what your ISP will likely do in no
way contradicts his statement. He is talking about what CAN happen in
theory, and you are talking about what most likely WILL happen in
practice.

No, I'm talking about what can happen in theory. Believe me, it's been
tried.

Try looking up my handle and "New Zealand Herald", for instance.
Wow. Sounds like a real class act. I'm impressed.

After this
was published, the NZ gov't actually tried to get Altopia to give me up.
Result? I still have that selfsame account and a half dozen others.
Oh, I see. Your ISP did not give you up, so in theory, it can't
happen. I must have missed that day in logic class!

Todd is talking out of his ass.
Or at least wasting bandwidth, since I seriously doubt that his
comments will change anyone's posting behavior.
