You misunderstand, Mark. Freedom of speech is just that — about SPEECH.
In a medium like this, you're looking more at freedom of the press. And
freedom of the press doesn't give us a blanket license to use CompuServe's
press. <grin> All of us signed an agreement to get on here which included
a reference to language.
By the way — the phone company indeed DOES reserve the right to
terminate calls based on content! Ask the FCC about that one since they're
the agency that controls what can be communicated over the phone.
