   I agree... it seems like bit of an overreaction to me.  MEAN18 is
   the only pirated thing I've seen on here in the 4 months I've 
   suscribed (one too many though) and 1 virus infected program that
   I've heard of (FLUSHOT2).  If the problem was rampant I'd agree to
   a moderator - as is i agree with Bill's posting.  The great majority
   of people on this particular net seem to be a little more responsible
   than found on an open BBS.  The reaction to MEAN18 was a good example
   of this.  Well, thats my two cents worth...
