We don't. The net didn't pull Whitehead's account. The administration of Penn State pulled Whitehead's account. The net can't restore Whitehead's account. To reiterate: this discussion is purely academic. the net doesn't exist. It can't pay bills, owe money or make transactions. 'The net' is just a convenient term for a conglomerate of public, semi-public and private interests which share nntp and cool stuff like that. Discussion on whether PSU responsibly used their right to yank Whitehead is valid. Their right to yank him is not a moot point; they have the right. fc
