who can and who cannot post to Usenet. Spam, binaries in text-only
groups, and anything that breaks the laws of the country in which the
ISP is based, obviously have to be acted on: beyond that, ISPs should
have no involvement whatever in the content of Usenet messages.

idiots have a right to say what they want just like everyone else. And
everyone else has both the right and the means to ignore them."

- By the way, isn't it still proper form to edit what you reply to,
and especially to delete the lines of people's .sigs ?
