Ken, as well as other TAG members -- Chris Huff, Chris Colefax, Warp,
Margus Ramst and myself, have been granted full permission from the
server admin to act on his behalf "in regards to its administration,
and in terms of enforcement and interpretation of the news server
Acceptable Use Policy." Or do you not read the announcements group?

It is rarely the owner's business to deal with drunk people, fights,
shootings or whatever. There are people who take care of such
situations and do so with the owner's authorisation. I doubt you will
protest if the security in the Sheraton restaurant warns you if you
start breaking things and tilting tables.
