Hmmmmm a Class Action suit in behalf of several hundred thousands of
system operators. My guess is that that also would hit the NY Times, and
probably Court TV, too. I shudder at the cost of just registering the
members of the "class". Considering that the posting hit even "garbage"
groups so often added as a prank, especially in the alt. hierarchy... the
costs are endless.
