It's even easier than that. PC/Magazine, one of those very familiar
thick PC newsstand magazines (circ about 1.2M) has a special
classified section on adult BBS's. You might raise an eyebrow to a kid
grabbing a copy of Cybersex, but PC/Magazine???

I think it's important to emphasize the nature of all this since it'd
be too easy to say hey, so who in heck is selling copies of "cybersex"
to kids? etc.
