Time Warner, which Old Buddy Dave uses, stopped carrying all Usenet newsgroups as of today.

The reason they keep giving is to prevent the distribution of child porn. Um. Yeah.

Their actions are identical to shutting down entire news stands in the interest of preventing child pornography magazines from hitting the stands.

Oh wait, the news stands are still open and there's no kiddie porn in sight!

I guess there must be some kind of measures in place to keep that sort of thing from happening, but still allowing other kinds of info to be published and put out on the racks.

What this tells me is that Time Warner is a bunch of stupid and lazy bastards.

Are they honestly trying to tell us that there's nobody in this entire country who is willing to sit in a room and filter porn groups for fifty dollars an hour?

*sad face* I just found out about 5 minutes ago that the Carlin died yesterday. I was very shocked. He was a funny man.
