As more of the world enters the "Information Age", abuses such as those
typified by "J-J" are inevitable.

Guidelines, suggestions, and "Gentlemen's Use" of the net notwithstanding,
from what I've seen during the past 3 years Usenet is an anarchy.

(Some) people will ALWAYS break laws.  Posted freeway speed limits in this
area are 55MPH, yet the commute traffic averages 70+MPH (before 8AM).

In a free society, people have to be accountable for their OWN actions and
deeds.  Let's not re-hash "prior restraint" again.

For the record, PORTAL does REQUIRE a signed contract of all its subscribers
(which provides more traceability than I've seen at several *.EDU sites).
