Due to violations of the DMCA (Digital
Millennium Copyright Act) the Usenet newsgroups
listed below are being discontinued from the
Excite at Home news feed.
Does @Home also filter & grab NNTP requests to servers they
don't control, like some other ISP is filtering & grabbing SMTP?
Do they realize the can of worms they open when they start editing
content vs. routing packets?
Waiting for them to search email for too-lengthy newswire excerpts,
