Do you reffer to the clause in the law that if the work as a whole has
redeeming social value, political significance, etc., then it is not
obscene?  I am aware of, and am glad such a clause exists.  I dare say,
though, the offending posts by Mark held no redeeming social/political
value.  I also reiterate my argument that the posting of such posts on a
list where underage persons may be present is highly innapropriate.
