4. ANS networks must not be used to transmit any
communication where the meaning of the message, or its
transmission or distribution, would violate any
applicable law or regulation or would likely be highly
offensive to the recipient or recipients thereof.
sorry, kent, i find this *VERY* offensive, and have determined that
both you and the originators of this *FILTH*, ANS, shoudl be
repremanded.
i assume you knew that this was going to happen. i would like to
think that whomever at ANS is responsible for this would get out of
the business of legislating morality.
5. ANS networks must not be used for commercial
purposes. However, if a use is consistent with the
purposes and objectives of ANS, then commercial
activities in support of that use will be considered
an acceptable use of the network.
i also have the feeling that ANS has offered my company a service
that contradicts the above statement. would any of them like to
comment here, or am i going to have to track them down?
