Also: the legal ramifications and liabilities to the net and its member sites for support of a group that supports and promotes the use of illegal substances. The probably reaction of System Administrators, their management, their security departments and lawyers and the backbone sites involved when they come across this group and its subject material. The probable time to first rmgroup of this newsgroup. The probable time to removal of this group by the backbones and other associated groups. Anyone interested in a betting pool on how long net.rec.drugs lasts?

Sounds like a perfect size for a mailing list. I carry every newsgroup and a few mailing lists on this machine, but there ain't no way I'm gonna carry net.rec.drugs -- Chuq summed it up pretty well. Followups will go to net.news.group. ..Bob -- UUCP: wanginst!ulowell!page Bob Page ARPA: page@ulowell.CSNET U of Lowell CS Dept VOX: +1 617 452 5000 x2233 Lowell MA 01854 USA

Hm. That's funny, I'm a sysadmin, and I think this group is great. It needs to be discussed, that's for sure. Maybe we should make it ba.rec.drugs, or ba.rec.everything_fun_but_alcohol_and_sex ... leave those for net.rec.nude and net.wines, right ? -- richard
