Anyhow, what stuck in my craw was an assertion by Detective Green about BBS's. He said (and I am quoting from memory) that while some BBS's were used for perfectly legitimate purposes, the *majority* were used for illegal activities such as pirating software, telephone blue-boxing, etc... Now I don't think that this is true. At least it is not true of the 6 or so BBS's that I have used in the Ottawa area. Some of them are pretty puerile, but that is not illegal yet :-). I suspect that Det. Green represents some of the more sophisticated thinking by the OPP about computer crime, yet he makes a broad condemnation of most BBS activities, and does so in the trade journal of the OPP. I cannot attend this lecture, but I wonder if someone who does would care to ask him how he justifies his statement. Maybe the OPP has some statistics on BBS usage that would shock and amaze us all. I should be very interested to hear his reply. - don taylor -- Don Taylor, XIOS Systems Corporation, ...seismo!uunet!mnetor!dciem!nrcaer!xios!dont 1600 Carling Avenue, Suite 150, Ottawa, Ontario.
