New York State Att General Andrew Cuomo is responsible. See

feels that child **** is being posted on
all alt.binaries newsgroups. I have contacted him with this letter July
13:
Sir: You are very wrong to claim that all alt.binaries are **** related. I
belong to a group called alt.binaries.3d.poser where we share images
produced from an expensive program called "Daz's Poser" and in all the
years, I have subscribed to this newsgroup, I have not seen even one where
child **** was ****trayed. As a 74 year old wife,mother, grandmother(11)
and
great grandmother(2), I abhor child ****. I have been a victim of ***ual
abuse by 2 close relatives as a child and would not tolerate child abuse
of
any kind. Your linking child **** to alt.bin groups is tantamount to
saying
that because several politicians have been fraudelant -all politicians
should be banned from serving! Drunk drivers have caused people to be
killed
yet we do not take away everyone's drivers licenses! And yet because there
may be a few disgusting people on the internet, my ISP (AT&T) has taken
away
a newsgroup that have not been guilty of this. I feel my rights have been
violated and that this wrong can be righted. We live in the United States
of
America, not the Soviet Union or China.I am homebound with several
medical
disabilities and this newsgroup (Alt. binaries.3d.poser) has been a source
of contact with people that share my love with the Poser program.
Granted,
there is ****ity and perhaps an occassional *****ca but there is also a
warning to those who do not wish to see this art but never child ****!
Please contact AT&T to let them know of this problem.
Yours truly
These will not be reinstated on AT&T newsgroups. I would suggest
bombarding
him with complaints and telling others to do the same
