To me, it seems INTERNET has got a bunch of terrorists but there's not police. If there are no "engagement" rules no communication may be possible. Otherwise, all scientists and other people (the ones who can pay) will escape to private owned networks. There, you've got to pay 750 USD/year just to open a mailbox. USENET is not a good example of anything and most traffic there is garbage. And not only that: A gateway to/from USENET may ruin a serious network in a matter of hours. Regards, AP (FISH-ECOLOGY).
