*shrug* If Karl's latest windmill attack adversely affects anyone (via leaking cancels), I suspect folks will quickly find out who's feeding him and make it stop. This will be about as effective as his empty threat to somehow get Playboy to punish folks who posted copyrighted images. I believe someone went so far as to post images with their own PGP signature to call his bluff and nothing ever happened. It's unfortunate that someone with such a long history and undoubtedly a wealth of experience chooses to spend their time in these fruitless endeavors rather than using that energy for something useful.

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?
