     Harold Stein and I were taliking the other night and we were wondering
     if

     this group was banned on Compuserve because of all of the sex
     advertising.

     Anyone wish to confirm this?

         My question would be whether it was carried by Compu$erve in the
         first

         place. This group doesn't have the most universal coverage.

              Has anyone thought of cross-posting this area's charter along
              with

              a plea to leave this newsgroup alone, that it isn't a sex area
              to all the

              sex newsgroups? I am getting tired of all the stupid posts.

         Everything is banned on Compuserve. Rush Limbaugh just bought it.

         a different tagline across the net.
