More than a year ago, there was a brief flurry of concern in the Twin Cities about porn on the BBS'. I actually attended a meeting with a bunch of ops and a state senator. It was kinda humorous... the senator really didn't have a clue what a BBS was, and the sysops had called her to inquire about any possible legislation. The down side was that licensing was mentioned as the first recourse from the state. When we complained of the financial hit, the talk turned to registration. But the sense was clearly toward proactive state control. There was a TV crew at the meeting. The bimbette made the state senator look positively well-informed. And they didn't interview me, either. - -- Roy M.
