I agree with Steve Dyer. In Canada we have laws against hate literature
which make it illegal to disseminate information which is likely to
contribute to hatred of a particular group (I don't have the exact Criminal
Code wording handy). It is an abuse of the concept of free expression to
use that expression in certain ways. This is all the more true in the case
of Usenet, which exists due to the generosity and good sense of its principal
organizations' managements.
