Hmm..... how is this alike, and how is this different, from a hardliner NRA saying, "We should ask people to protect themselves by wearing bulletproof vests, instead of trying to ban guns"?
Ted, please don't be a bonehead on purpose. I bet you can see the difference between some bits coming down a wire and a bullet coming at you at 1000 feet per second. It has to do with the level of threat and the feasibility of protecting yourself.
As long as we are really being freedom-loving, there's nothing we can do (or should _want_ to do) to get people to attend groups that allow anonymous posters, if they only want to travel in "real person only" circles.
Not true at all! Just because I like freedom doesn't mean I shouldn't try to convince people to act in a way that is more freedom-loving. -- Marc Ringuette (mnr@cs.cmu.edu)
