He emphasized that again, this morning, on his site.

Sadly, the suggestion to go to 'cease and desists' would seem to be the only
recourse. I have made a couple inquiries this morning, and had to meet with
family lawyers this week anyway(sucks for Denny that I am on vacation, with
loads of free time this week). What sort of stinks is that the end result
might be a closure of the NJFlyfishing website, which seems to have a goodly
number of decent folks using it in a responsible fashion. It is a shame that
they cannot seem to prevail on their administration to see common sense..

Probably not. A lot of sites upload usenet posts...google a few words
from an old post and see all the places it appears. Its return-access
that is universally prohibited; something that DA was unaware of
(willingly so, apparently). I think being publicly read and
distributed is the price we pay for discoursing on an public access
format.

FWIW, I think I'm not banned there (I also joined up in an effort to
see what was happening on that end), nor do I feel a need to become
so...I think most of the posters there seem like likeable folks. But
there certainly are some (DA in particular) who seems to embody the
ugly cultural stereotype.
