It sounds like you want to censor UseNet and you want to be the god
that gets to do that. I think UseNet will survive you as it has
survived everyone else. Everyone will OPT you OUT. I'm curious of
several things. 1.) Did you consult any Internet standards group or
organization about your plan for UseNet? 2.) What is your motivation
political or profit? Or do you answer to a higher authority?
