When a single "obsessed" individual embarks on a self-serving crusade to censor us all, which is certainly the case here, then one must do more than only *hope* that reason will prevail. Yes, the F.B.I will recognize this Richmond character for the Yo-yo that he is, something that the media, forever sensationalist, often fails to do. We cannot wait until one day we log on to our computers and see a series of "deleting bogus newsgroups" message. The time is now! Visible support for freedom of speech, e.i. Brad Templeton, has to be clearly and articulately expressed to those that matter, such as the Waterloo University and the Boston Globe. -- Joe Wasik - PacBell, 2600 Camino Ramon, 4e750, San Ramon, CA 94583 415-823-2422 was@pbhyf.PacBell.COM or {att,bellcore,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!was Disclaimer: "Hear me now and believe me later"
