[comp.mail.uucp] Net Politics & Private Machines

The very idea of separating private machines from others leaves
us open to the question of "Why should my corporation, blah-blah, have
to pay for individuals using the net?"  The answer will be distasteful...
This discussion can only lead to 'bad stuff'.

There is no reason to distinguish private users from any others.

I suspect at least a few of the "individuals" with private machines on
the net will be those who have work accounts. If I ever get a system on
the net you can be sure that most of my participation will be from that
system, rather than here at work.

Agreed.
