Censorship or Assholeship, same diff. A nameless, faceless, self
appointed member of the "Shadow Government" has decided what we can and
cannot see on the internet, an entity that has always enjoyed the
epitome of freedom. Here is an excerpt from the reply I received from AT&T;

"Although the Newsgroup that you're trying to access might be dealing
with an entirely different topic of discussion, discontinuing our
support on Alt.binary newsgroups is a legal action we have to take. I'm
sorry to inform you that we could not disclose any more information
about this at this time. Once again, we sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience."

Why can't they disclose anything to us? What the F*** is so secret?
