DC> I have no doubt that they are reading it! also note: >>In Message-ID: <35b...@news3.uswest.net> >>Sarah and Tony Day <day...@uswest.net> wrote: >>Please don't post naked people and swear words and such, little kids >> could be looking. >>-Sarah And look at their posting add...@uswest.net...doesn't that suggest that they are both kids or schoolchildren possibly posting from a school account or maybe even a home account sanctioned by their parents? So...it was Sarah Day, not me, who posted that "Public channel" message about not posting swearwords or nudes because little kids might be reading it...and she was not even referring to JPGs, GIFs and other pictures...she was referring to what was being posted here...including the swearwords and rudeness from Mepha. My viewpoint is different. I happen to think that children should be supervised if they are allowed Net access. I think that many are not. Also children simply cannot handle adult flamewars that they might quite unintentionally provoke with their postings. The Net is not a pretty place akin to Fairyland and those who survive need a rhinoceros' hide. The Net is not for the tender and sensitive. People who participate in Usenet newsgroups should be adult and my definition of adult would probably be: a person who is fully and solely responsible for their own actions and for the consequences of their actions. Children are usually not in that category. As I've said many times...anyone can post anything they choose to post on unmoderated newsgroups but there can be consequences that they then have to deal with. Freedom has its price in the consequences arising from its use. Now then... ______________________ | | | "Which newsgroup is | | for nude postings?" | |______________________| .%%%. / %%%%%%% _____________ \ (c c) | '\\\\\\ d\ > | ' ____|_ )=_/ | + '||:::::: __/ /__ | '||_____| '--/ ) \'_______|_____| |'/', . . \ ___/____|___\___ _|/__|___#___|/_\| _ ' <<<:| After / _________ |_________'___o_o| b'ger / /:::::::::| '==========' Not everyone can access the newsgroup "alt.binaries.pictures.ascii" How many people actually do their postings in the nude?
