Is it not time to stop the whole discussion about Soviet access to Usenet, 
different spy/counter spy organizations and start talking computers.

By the way, isn't the best way of making KBG/GRU incapable of any move to
drown them with data, incomplete data, garbage data and so on. They
won't be able to find the useful information since it is hidden by a lot
of irrelevant data. I belive that this is the ghost of all intelligence 
sevices, not the absence of data, but rather too much data.

And after all, if three can't keep a secret, how can anyone think
that anything published in Usenet can be called secret? I think the whole
discussion is aiming at the wrong target since Usenet is a open
INTERNATIONAL network and can't be used to contain secrets.

Second, if you can't stop soviet access to the net, what the use discussing
it in such a way that the USSR can observe anything you say (i.e. USENET).

Third, which topics seems to be to most popular on the net? For me it seems
to be that the topics the Soviet "really" can gain vital information about is
if Tom Bombadill is a maia or what ever.
