Nobody ever said the CDR was Usenet.
You have used that comparison numerous time. Check the archives. In fact it is the fundamental cornerstone of your 'implied contract' argument. Once we differentiate the two your assertion has nothing to stand on. The CDR is not a public service nor is it a 'universal' service like USENET. It IS(!!!) a mailign list operated by private individuals which is participated in by private individuals who must individual subscribe (which is a big distinction itself with the way USENET operates). -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
