The problem with Usenet
There's recently been a little bit of fuss in the news about the NewYork Attorney General getting various ISPs to turn off the alt.*hierarchy on their Usenet servers, with a number of people are wonderinghow the ISPs were willing to cave in to this sort of pressure.

我說有貨在手的投資者不用太擔
