I hate to keep beating on this drum, but given the recent kerfuffle
regarding Baen Book's forum (users inciting violence, etc, link at end), I
don't think we can let the "don't advocate illegal stuff over WWIVnet"
thing slide for long.

As before, I am NOT saying anything about points of view, political
position, etc.  I am talking about *legal* versus *illegal* only.

My (opinionated) summary of the Baen thing is here, but really, the only
relevant part to WWIVnet I've already mentioned:

Again, I wish this wasn't necessary, but I'd rather we get in front of
it rather than get blindsided by it down the road.
