Brad is not making any money by SENDING a newsgroup to you. You are not paying for rhf, so therefore, Brad is not making any money by *sending* you that group. However, he *is* making money by passing stuff that people on your machine posted to rec.humor. Therefore, if you want to prevent him from making money from your machine, you should prohibit posting to rec.humor and not allow any of your downstream sites to forward rec.humor postings *past* your machine. Don't penalize others on your machine by removing rhf - it's free to you *and* Brad makes no money from your machine. -- -Todd Day- Internet: todd%ivucsb.UUCP@anise.acc.com UUCP: {pyramid, ucbvax}!ucsbcsl!nessus!ivucsb!todd Other: todd@ivucsb.UUCP may not work yet.
