Back some years ago on the Minix newsgroup, we had some trouble
with trolling Finns. Terrible stuff - spelling and grammar was
awful too. We just blocked the whole .fi subdomain.


This may be the SYDNEY Linux Users Group, but blocking off whole
swathes of the Internet just isn't... "in the spirit of the
technology" if you will. We ought to be fighting the idea of doing
this - not recommending it! The last thing we need is Richard
Alston getting his hands on that all-mighty "proxy server" he
wants...
