If carrying USENET on a putative ham radio backbone would mean
imposing "broadcast standards" censorship on the entire pool of
subscribers, then I submit it ain't worth it.  If you want to broadcast
email and newsgroups, then write a filter or hire someone who knows how.  
In the meantime, let's struggle onward with the existing, imperfect net 
where we can say what we want.  I don't get any more of a charge out of
reading unnecessary profanity than the next person, but I'll be damned
if I'll give it up just to go on the radio (in however many years that
takes to build).  In short -- unworkable and antithetical to net.principles.
