In what way will the removal of rec.humor.funny from your system reduce
Brad's income?  If the answer is "not at all", how is he making money
from your system?

Do you get paid for administering the system?  If so, are you not making
money from it?

A number of companies have people whose work assignments include keeping
an eye on the net.  Are they making money from it?

Peter Neumann moderates comp.risks as part of his work with ACM SIGSOFT,
work which is undoubtedly at least authorized and quite possibly supported
by his employer.  Is he making money from the net?  Are you going to shut
off comp.risks next?

This is getting just a wee bit ridiculous.  I would be very surprised if
Brad is going to be making gobs of money from gatewaying.  When you compute
the net hourly rate he'll be getting for moderating, I wouldn't be surprised
if it was less than minimum wage.
