- You are just trying to gross me out, and as I said to Keith, it cannot
- be done in talk.abortion without getting so explicit as to bring the
- wrath of network censors down on your head, and bringing pressure to
- make ALL talk.abortion moderated, something none of us wants.
-
- Back in Wollongong I saw a newsgroup with a name like alt.sex.kinky
- but there's nothing like it here. So you can't gross me out by
- posting there either.
-
- But as I said to Keith, I can't stop you from e-mailing me.
