	 Regarding licensing BBS's, there is a bill pending in
Congress to do just that - some nasty stuff. Using real names, Sysop's
having to keep complete logs of everything, and more government 
interference in people's privacy. I hope it never makes it out
of Congress.

How about some details...

-- Whats the bill's number??
-- Is it still in committee??
-- Who sponsored it??

THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF WE NEED TO DISCUSS SERIOUSLY, AND NOT WITH
JUST A POSTSCRIPT TO A REPLY TO A SARCASTIC BASE NOTE.
