Just an idea tossed out to see...

Would we significantly reduce the chance of getting an obscenity-type
lawsuit if we encrypted all the news? Would the same argument used for
rotated jokes in net.jokes work when dealing with the sorts of people
interested in ``protecting us all'' from such things? [for those of
you who stopped reading net.jokes before rotation, the argument goes,
you can't object to it 'cause you rotated it. Sort of like the magazines
which come in the plain brown wrappers...]

Would it even let Lauren sleep better at night?
