  Well said. SCN is in the process of being a separate entity, and
  needs to focus on that first. First things first.

  These other issues, such as making SCN's commitment to all the
  alt.sex.* forums as some *grand celebrated cause* for 'free speech'
  are a *red herring*, which divert attention away
  from establishing SCN itself. 

  (This whole topic was diverting attention away from the elections.
   It was one of the things that was making the elections into a
   3-ring circus!)

    SCN would not be providing 'due diligence' if they did not add some
    administrative feature to *verify* that the person was in fact an
    adult. How SCN could do this, I'm not sure.
    However, it could be an administrative nightmare.

    The most popular alt.sex.* forum is probably alt.sex.stories.
    These *commonplace* (???) stories include:

    incest, pedophilia, rape, bondage, S/M, and snuff stories.

    The time to debate the merits of the *usefulness* of the
    alt.sex.* forums is *later on*. 
    I will be one of those people who will debate AGAINST these forums.
    Until later...
