Why is it legal (or is it?) for the administrators to delete postings (such as from net.source or net.sources.games)? I agree that it is a good idea to do so some of the time (it would not do to have everyone with a source for a game), but why is it legal? Are there no laws about this? Isn't the net for NET USERS? I would appreciate any feedback on this, opinions, laws, ideas... -- -Lautzy (Romulan) "Herbert, you are STIFF!"...
