		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,
