What else? What have the U2 Czars controlling CAUCE also done?

Not allowed the admin of a one-way remailer who returned the required token for posting to comp.org.cauce to post here; no explanation given despite repeated requests.

My understanding was that the Cracker remailer was allowed to post on some CAUCE moderated thing, presumably the newsgroup. I seem to recall that the token was returned and posting capability had been verified. Has something changed? Which remailer was it?

If I was wrong, nobody ever corrected me despite my posting the complaint repeatedly to comp.org.cauce.

They never answered. Not him, not me. Speaking of problems: it's definite: the great attempt to censor the Internet has begun in England. Mainly Usenet is under attack: pics of mere nudity are being deleted without any legal process whatsoever. See my posts in comp.org.eff.talk ... I've put two pics of nekked kids up at www.panix.com/~guy as part of the "discussion". They (Demon, UUNET, ...) are deleting both pics and apparently text files too, and reporting them to the police. The Thought Police are here. ---guy
