Compromise is not necessarily a bad thing; without some give and take, we sorta run right over each other. OTOH, I do agree that a strong position is necessary at this juncture.
Certainly. EFF regularly compromises with our allies, e.g. on who will run a particular web page, what a campaign icon will look like, where an event will be held, etc. We're just not in the habit of compromising on legislation, since we are not in a position to give or sell anything, particular the rights of the public and of individual citizens. -- <HTML><A HREF="http://www.eff.org/~mech/"> Stanton McCandlish </A><HR><A HREF="mailto:mech@eff.org"> mech@eff.org </A><P><A HREF="http://www.eff.org/"> Electronic Frontier Foundation </A><P> Online Activist </HTML>
