I think you're right Singular3D. You're also getting better TV than I am. When you think about it though, we have too many half-naked, squirming, women, which is probably much more provocative than fully nude ones. I would only say that first came the money and wherever the money is, the lawyers are sure to show up. It takes money to run a high bandwith graphics hungry site so you have a store to offset the cost. Soon, the art becomes secondary to the money. Only the independently wealthy or the very noble can ignore that equation. Perhaps that may change a little. Google is doing some interesting things with their Google Groups. NNTP is certainly open to the type of perfectly legal things we're talking about here--and illegal as well though that's not the issue. Still it will take enough people willing to spend the time and enerty to set up and maintain something else. Build it and they will coms? Who knows.
