        Message #1029, rec.games.int-fiction. If our newsfeed goes to TLCNet,
which isn't supposed to have alt groups (or is it just alt.sex?), it seems
these messages could get through anyway. The message above had something to do
with nude beaches. I don't know if it came from an alt group or what. But I
hope the problem is fixed soon, because I wouldn't want to see TLCNet to be
held liable if a sexually explicit message gets tangled up in a posting in
rec.fan.barney.
