Frank,
are you as dense as you pretend to be?
The point has been made so many times, I can't
believe that you don't get it. Whether you agree
or disagree is one thing, but to ignore the points
that Lauren and others have made, effectively invalidates
any legitimate concerns that you may have.

THE POINT IS: it is not the changing of the medium that
makes us concerned about legalities of postings; it is 
the fact that there will be a focal point for lawyers to
sue, if they have a mind to. That point being the sattelite company
through which all postings will flow through.

Also, another point concerns the information content
on the net. It really costs money to send 25 redundant 
answers to, for example, "what is the name of this song?".

PLEASE, think about it. I share some of
your concerns, but when you rant and rave and recommend
totally obnoxious behaviour (spit on them in public), NOBODY
will pay any attention.
