Some people have a low tolerance for freedom.

Yes, there is some nasty stuff on Usenet, as there is on the web, in
certain districts of many cities, and in a lot of peoples minds.  There
is also a lot of good stuff.

Among the newsgroups I check out regularly (or semi regularly) are of
course this one, a Jeep group (although not so much now!), six sci-fi
groups, four gaming groups, four travel groups and exactly ONE with
pictures of scantly clad (or unclad) adult women <G>.

If people want to find perverted pictures they are going to find them,
no matter what some small minded people think.  It was going on LONG
before Usenet was invented, and it will be going on long after the
Internet evolves into whatever it evolves into.

When AOL dropped NG's, I thought it was that it was tying up bandwith
and not economical, how stuoid of me not to see the hanwritting in the
wall.

On the other side of the coin, in searching  for a NG reader I have
found "free" ones that are almost 8 hrs behind, or way too difficult
to work with. One, that I found, once you clicked on the subject
opened up, it goes away and you cannnot read any folowups, another I
found was $39.95 Another that is $15.95 will  not upload.

If evryone did not know me as being on AOL I would gladly dump it as
all I used it fie was BG's, and then other things. Th eother things I
can get anytime.
