What the German goverement threatned to do was inexcusable, but something can be done about it. The way that mail and postings are handeld, it is possible to trash mail and posting coming or going to a certin destination. This is censorship, but maybe the members of the goverment have justified such an action. If they can censor others, should others not be able to censor them? That's one of the beauties of the electronic age, the only thing that matters is intelligence, numbers or political power have negligable effects. Are the german authorities worthy of such an reaction? Have they crossed the line? If they have, maybe they can serve as the example of what happens when a group of people attempt to force their will on others. Regards, Michael Peponis PGP Key Avalible form MIT Key Server
