While they're at it they should ban all print, film, and video media
because people produce child pornography on those as well.

Doesn't really surprise me - there's always at least one more nitwit than was
counted on. And it's just the kind of excuse the ISPs would love to use to cut
their costs - and without lowering subscriber fees (just like CommieCast
claims Usenet is a "free" service - which is one service that is ripe for the
picking).

Probably a good idea to check out the independent news providers just in case.
I've had good luck with www.motzarella.org wrt content and retention of
discussion groups. Folks that are into binaries wouldn't be happy with it,
tho...

It's all lies. Just like the "we need those illegal aliens to do the work
Americans don't want to do" lie politicians have be parroting for years. The
major ISPs want to kill usenet because it's pure overhead with no chance of
revenue. Getting the AG to play sock puppet is just a formality with
built-in PR bennies.

Well I am a Time Warner customer. I know I don't post that often
anymore, but I have been a roffian for over a decade. If they pull the
plug on me, let me say now that it has been a pleasure while I still can!

....and, since alt.flyfishing will also disappear g, i'd like to have
some idea where all y'all will be migrating...

IMO, this quote speaks volumes about the situation:

"What Time Warner Cable will do, Dudley said, is remove illegal content
on its network when alerted by the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children."

Aside from the expectation that they might remove "illegal content" if
_anyone_ alerted them to it, one is left to wonder how much more porn,
kiddie or otherwise, is on the 'net versus USENET.

Between the content alert-and-remove scheme and canceling USENET, it
appears Time Warner Cable will stamp out something...sometime after
Hillary and Teddy win Prez-Veep of the US...while running as
Republicans...with campaign material printed solely in Spanish.... while
promising to triple taxes on those making under 100K...and repeal Roe v
Wade... and calling for the banning not only hunting guns, but hunting
licenses as well...and kicking off their campaign by converting to Islam
and then apostating....

And while I can't say for certain as I've never looked for kiddie porn
on USENET or anywhere else, have no intention of doing so, and do not
claim knowledge of it or its POS fans, I'd wonder how non-binary groups
are sources of porn, kiddie or otherwise...and on top of that, I'd offer
that few would attempt to get illegal-to-possess material from the
apparent 88 known kiddie porn binary groups via Time Warner because
logging on to the news server would create a "paper trail" - probably a
similar number of folks attempt to buy kiddie porn at police stations
each year...

Frankly, I blame Al Gore...if he hadn't invented the Internet, "illegal
content" wouldn't exist...

Sheesh,
R

ROFF goes out not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Do you really study my posts?
What will you do with your acronym list and your web site if ROFF goes
