All of this talk about 1st amendment rights is ridiculous!  Eric Mading
lost his privileges to this net because the owner of his local system
(in this case - UWis) did not deem his outrageous postings as productive.

Let's face it.  The majority of the readers of the network are reading
this thru the use of their employers or school's machines. And I would
hazard to guess on their employers time (cute smiley face)!  As an employer
would you want Eric Mading spending company resources to post such obvious
drivel?? And intentional posting articles in certain news.groups to 
incite flaming?

As far as I'm concerned... Good Riddance!
