G'day Adam Smith, In a message on  , you said :

AS> I apologise to all those who receive this from other posts but I am 
AS> posting this everywhere in the hope that it will stamp out censorship of 
AS> the Internet as is being done by the University of Southern Queensland.

As FidoNet has nothing to do with either the Internet or USQ I fail to see
how this posting will have any effect.

AS> USQ has for the past year banned it's users from telnet addresses, ftp 
AS> sites and even news groups promoting anything outside of the moral scope 
AS> from alt.drugs to alt.pyrotechnics to erotica and yes even certain 
AS> religious groups.

Its their equipment and their choice as to what they do with  it.


AS> I want to keep this letter "alive" and as many of you as
possible to read 
AS> this.

Perhaps we are not interested !

AS>  
AS>  
AS> I may be stupid.

a distinct possibility.


AS>  
AS> THis message may end my use of this server however this is of VERY little 
AS> concern to me as I'd rather pay a commercial Internet provider to  use his 

Why dont you then.

AS> to access certain pornographic channels or those promoting certain  
AS> religious beliefs.

Oh dear what a great loss !!

AS> If I go down I intend to take this system with me.

goodbye.




AS> Thanks for spending the time to read this. I hope it encourages people to 
AS> stand up against censorship of what was devised as "an
impregnable network 

I doubt it.
