That's no more censorship than the fact that my library doesn't carry
every book and magazine I want. It's not censorship if they choose

to
spend their grant money on Dickens instead of Penthouse. Internet
providers have to choose which services will cater to the most

customers
and make the most profit. Running a full-feed Usenet server is
expensive, and with only a tiny percentage of customers accessing it,

it
just doesn't make fiscal sense to keep it up as an internal service.


Yep, I could almost guarantee that it has everything to do with money,
and very little to do with *social good.*
