Let me ask this of the Usenet readersip...  Suppose I were to post
100's of Credit Card numbers, or login procedures for sensitive
computers, or AT&T proprietary source code on one of the newsgroups..
When this message would be distributed throughout the world, would the
Secret Service be able to confiscate each machine which that particular
posting resides?  

This is the same thing that happens to many BBS operators (SysOps) when
a user or two posts "non-public-domain" messages and the SS catches it
before the SysOp can delete it..

Makes you wonder.........
