- We are always told that the reason for the censoring of the alt.sex.*
- and alt.drugs hierarchy is that NASA didn't want to be seen to be paying for
- the transmission of said groups from the US to Oz (they pay for half the link).
- Now what is to stop some local person creating the same hierarchy but instead
- of being alt.sex.* make it aus.sex.*? If the distribution was set to aus then
- there should be no traffic outside of Australia (although this is not always
- the case as the message that I am following up to was set for aus dist. but it
- made it to my server which is in the US). If these groups were created would
- somebody then come up with another excuse for not allowing them?
