I learned long ago that even access to the ARPA net (much less USENET) is not limited to `good guys'. Just hang around a university computer center for a while, and you'll see just what I mean. Perhaps UNIX-WIZARDS gets to a more exclusive audience than people parked at a suburban shopping center, but I see no reason to think that the audience is a more benign one... I sure wish it was. -Ed
