The Supreme Court has ruled that the telcos *cannot* disconnect the 1-900 and 976 porn lines unless the services are specifically obscene, a definition that is hopeless to reach, community standards being as they are these days. Good or bad decision by the Supremes? I don't know...but don't start up here, whatever you do! :) I'm sure talk.misc.sunday.sermons would be glad to have you share your thoughts! See you tomorrow!
