One other problem you both have forgotten ... CancelMsgs. Just before I
dropped my INN feed was the worst of the Cancel-Wars, with the CoS mess.
All we need, to add fuel to this already hot DNSO fire is to have some
schmuck with a hair-trigger cancel program, on a Win box. Geez, you think
we have accusations now, wait til that starts. I guarantee you that
*someone* would start filtering the Jeff Williams messages then someone
else, seeing them get away with it, will start canceling others that *they*
don't like. Then we start getting re-posts. No, UseNet is out for this
list, IMHO.
