Major problem here is that ten million horny geeks are likely to bring your server to its knees, but if one only has one image, and it is moderately small, say thirty thousand bytes, perhaps the flood would taper off eventually. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

That's a good idea for a civil disobedience campaign: get a picture you like from alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.*, shrink it to 20K or 30K, and make it available on your homepage as ObCDA. Everybody who's got a home page should display one. :-) --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
