So solve it for me, Stev. Believe me -- b e l i e v e me --
nobody is more tired of the issue than am I. And please
remember that this is nothing more than a sidelight to an
article about networking in the public schools.
But the issue's not going away.
That business of "so don't take those newsgroups" sounds good,
if it worked. Of course, it doesn't. I can think of no less
than four alternate methods to get to controversial material
in the absence of a usenet feed. Shut 'em all down and you've
got no net left.
