While Tim may be right that nobility is lost when backing down to the
authorities, the fact is that this game has little to do with noble
purposes.  Check that, obvious noble purposes.  While most on this list
would agree that free flow of information is noble we have all seen that
this is otherwise with people in power.  As I stated in my last post, the
Swiss have maintained thier "haven" for many years by playing both sides. 
In accomodating everyone they avoid harassment.
   This way the Swiss maintain a good system and live to fight another day.

Nor was there any activity from the authorities.

A while back, when Vince first started advertizing his site, I asked him a few
hypothetical questions, and he said roughly this: If client X posts something
to Usenet from Vince's site, and if Y dislikes X's article so much that he
mailbombs X, then Vince would pull X's plug. (I have the exact quote saved.)
I lost interest right then. I'm not surprised that Vince acted dishonorably by
pulling a client's plug with no warning for a very flimsy reason.
