- Let me put it to you this way:
-
- If your system offers "open access", with full USENET reading privs without
- age verification, you'd better put some restrictions on various groups like
- alt.sex, rec.arts.erotica, etc., otherwise you'll find 1) some sensationalist
- local newsperson, or 2) the local district attorney breathing down your back
- and no doubt confiscating your equipment for "distributing pornographic
- materials to minors".
-
- If some 13 year old wants to discuss masterbation techniques, fine, he can
- do it on his own system.
