This is NOT a topic for net.followup! Second, what ever gives you the idea that the government of South Africa would PERMIT Usenet to cross it's borders? Frankly, given the attitude of USENET, I think that the question is moot, i.e. USENET would be banned in less than 5 seconds. Stuff and nonsense! Freedom of information is counter to SA's survival. USENET is certainly free, albiet badly abused, and there even exists SOME information hidden in less used corners. -- TEDDY BEARS ARE SHY, SAVE A POWDERMILK BISCUIT FOR YOURS!
