If little Johnny wants to read soc.motss, he can do it on my system.
Cramer still likes to maintain that soc.motss is "sexually oriented"
and akin to either alt.sex or 976 services which it clearly isn't.  
Any attempt to sue a site for accidentally or deliberately giving
a minor access to soc.motss would be thrown out of court, and since
the chances of such a suit being brought are infinitesimally less than
the chance of Cramer's conversion to liberalism, I suggest that we
put this ridiculous thread to bed.  Cramer may have the last word if
he likes.
