USENET is not exactly known for being a friendly neighborhood outside the
k12.* and misc.kids groups.  Personally, I think any teacher allowing 10-year-
olds access to a group outside of those and then expecting nothing but love
and flowers is assinine, especially in a 'sinking ship' like the AII.

I almost feel this way, but I'm not entirely sure if bad support is better or
worse than no support...

Weakling!  I can ping, finger, and ICMP bomb (ISU's main router was blown out
for over 8 hours by someone at a remote site using one of those.  It wasn't
fun).
