Where to move the debate? How about Usenet?

[Jennifer_Reiswig at UCSDLIBRARY.ucsd.edu]

     Some have demanded that the filtering/porn/CDA thread end or move to a 
     new list. Others have countered that they want to see who "wins."  
     Yes, the topic is interesting, but it has completely overwhelmed this 
     list, so it should move on.  Rather than start yet another new list 
     (which is not a trivial undertaking), how about moving the discussion 
     to a forum *already intended* as a soapbox for library issues: the 
     Usenet group called    soc.libraries.talk
     
     Soc.libraries.talk is a fairly sparse newsgroup in need of 
     revitalization, with its two resident "characters" unseen all summer 
     (one guy who hates the Boston Public Library, and another guy who's 
     trying to invent an electronic version of the brain of a librarian... 
     anyway...)
     
     This way the debate can rage on, and those of us who have upper limits 
     on the size of our inbox can relax and not have to scour out web4lib 
     mail every few hours.
     
     How about it - who wants to step outside?
