Really.  His postings are not covered by the first amendment.  YOU
don't want to have his "garbage" posted on USNET?  Listen, I agree
with you as to the quality of his postings, but preventing him from
posting his putrid comments would still be quashing his first
amendment rights.  I look at his comments and feel that they are
usable as examples of lies, misstatements, etc.
