That was the point I was trying to make.
I think that guy is right in one respect because I think it is now
illegal for UK ISP's to even carry these groups so Plus could be in
deep trouble.

You're wrong on that one.

Unfortunately I do not have any time at all for grassers
and all this aggravation regarding child abuse on the net is very
discriminating against the internet and its subscribers .

What complete and utter balderdash.

Not that it is clear what you mean by "discriminating against the
internet and its customers"

being last night " Friday" I watched a program called " the way we
where"in the program ITV showed four young boys climbing into a bed
naked from the waste down I actually recorded the program because I
record all programs that I like to watch which are transmitted byITN C
4 and C5 so I can zip through the blasted adds so am I guilty of
unintentionally having images of naked children in my possession
!!!!!!!! ???.

Probably, but so what?

If this can be shown in TV programs and in the adds why
is it so wrong for images like this to be available on the net for
gods sake ?

It is all dependent on the circumstances and apparent reasons. It is
normally quite clear from the overall content of a web site whether
the images are "innocent" or are there for sexual reasons.

And similarly with a newsgroup. Not that you are likely to get many
photos of naked or near naked children in groups not dedicated to
sexual matters.

how many adds have you seen showing naked and semi naked
children in them ?in fact you sometimes see them in newspapers and on
billboards .

Very very few.


Its time the police stopped all this "operation ore" nonsense and
concentrated on catching real criminals .

In the opinions of the VAST majority of reasonable people, those that
things like Operation Ore are aimed at are amongst the most serious
criminals there are.

Murder is *maybe* more serious than paedophilia.
