Prosecution?  Well in America atleast profanity, racism, and stupidity aren't
illeagle yet at any rate.  Though the accout holder could probably be TOSed,
thoug posting to usenet is much differant than posting to their (AOL's) on
message areas.

And if the start filtering messages for content, watch their customer base get
cut in half at the very least.  When big buiseness starts acting as the thought
police, it's time to start being very afraid......

Oh and if anyone feels like snipeing at my AOL address, I can telnet to one of
my other unix shell accounts and re-post this if it will make you feel better.
And no I don't support the poster, as they are off topic in this group.  About
the same as this message.
