Awatmath.1339 net.news utzoo!decvax!watmath!bstempleton Sat Dec 19 02:23:30 1981 Freedom of dataways I think Andrew Koenig has an important point: You can't really censor the netnews. Let's say I'm at site x which has refused to take net.jokes.q. I simply call up my friend at site y that does take it, and tell him to put a line in his sys file that forwards the newsgroup via mail right to my mailbox. In this way, people who want it still get it (unless system administrators start reading people's mail) and you are in fact wasting more resources if a message is sent to two people or over two links.
