I do change the headers at times to cater to the different
audiences. As far as takedowns? Are there any moderators anymore,
anywhere? Doesn't matter. Even in the old days of .pubes, nearly
100% of the takedown threats came too little too late. I saw most of
them.
I think that if you could force a takedown today, it would be
more effective. Why? Because most of the ISP Usenet services are
long gone. When they did their grabs(snatches!), they stayed there.
This is all conjecture on my part.
(speaking as an American)...We're not worried about kiddie
pRon these days. That's why we don't have ISP usenet today. They
didn't want the legal hassles for content they no-way-in-Hell could
police. So they gave it up. It was cheaper and easier not to have
it. We're all worried about guns and 2nd Amendment issues these days.
They'll snatch those rights away too, because it's easier to
subdue a populace armed only with shotguns and maybe bolt-action
rifles. The day is coming.
