If you do this, you'll find out very quickly just how empty (or at least how slippery) slogans like "the Internet routes around censorship" are: if your efforts pay off and you steer even a fraction of CIS's traffic toward the remaining open newsservers, they'll close faster than you can say "alt." So before you do it, think about how the net will route around sysops closing their servers off from the net.

You mean that the thirty-some odd open news servers listed on http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~jwa/open-sites.html might get swamped. Then the CIS refugees will be forced to pay Sameer the massive $12.50 (?) a month for a net-access-only account and read off of c2.org's server. (Or any of the thousands of sites worldwide one can open a shell account on.) DCF
