- So, what you're saying is, "If you don't like what someone posts to
- usenet, it's ok to incite netters to cause financial injury on an
- individual by posting, 'Compuserve users have to pay for receiving
- e-mail from internet, so bomb away. Send some large FAQ files uuencoded
- to increase their size.'" BTW, it didn't work.
-
- I chose to use Compuserve in order to not use my employer's system.
- Is there anything unethical about that? Perhaps there is. I just don't know
- I just as well could have posted from one of the many BBS's in the Bay
- Area. Yes, Mr. Lizard, if people don't like what they hear, read, see
- on TV, they should change the channel, or leave the room. Your logic
- implies that you HAVE to read it, then take action. Well, there is a
- radio station in Hayward with the call sign of KFAX (1100am) which I'm
- sure you would find objectionable. Applying your logic, perhaps you
- should vandalize the place? Or would turning the tuner be a more civilized
- response?
-
- Anyway, enough of this. Please note the ID. It's not from Compuserve.
- Satisfied?
