    Speaking for myself, I wonder if anyone thought about the nightmare of
software, for which you are legally responsible (whatever that means?) on an
unsecure system like cica.  Sure, most people play by the rules, but there
are a few that don't.  We've all seen the various forged messages, and the
like.  I know that our product support doesn't like the additional calls
just for printer driver updates, but cica is not the place.  Usenet and the
Internet weren't set up for commericial enterprises.

I don't speak for nobody but myself, and not too often at that.
