- Yup. And a.s.b is only being rejected by "various portions" of it,
- according to their laws &/or regulations.

- That is what they (the system's owners) did. Then people started
- all this "you can't do that" b*tching and moaning. The U of Manitoba
- (I think it was) cut of a.s.b because it was found to be in violation
- of the Canadian laws. The group is still in violation even if only
- one article is the actual culprit. So they cut it off. If everyone
- said as you did "that's their privilige" we wouldn't be here in this
- thread.
