Original Paragraph:
The protection Usenet offers against defamation is not
perfect; a few people who read the original post may miss my reply and more may
choose not to believe it. But the protection offered by the courts is imperfect
too. Most damaging false statements are not important enough to justify the
cost and trouble of a lawsuit. Many that are do not meet the legal requirements
for liability. Given the choice, I prefer Usenet.
