Now it sure is clear who is being obnoxious. Mr Molenda followed his conscience
and tried to prevent other organizations from complaining about MN news feeds
and clipping the feed. So IMHO (which I could give a damm if you disagree or not)
is trying to PREVENT censorship. Sh*t man your own sigfile boasts about Disk space
if you REALLY believed it or took it to heart you would understand how priceless
it is and most labs and institutions just dont have alot of diskspace lying around
(present company excluded of course...; ) . The computer facil in the lab I work
in would be any CSCI Jock mouthwater...) So dont go spouting off about your
holier than thou attitude and frankly you can flame me until your eyes turn blue.

PS Jason M, now see I told you there would be a gun fight.... Don't you hear the
   Spaghetti Western Theme Music in the background... 8 )
