Re: Data Vaults (vs. Data Havens)

From: tcmay@netcom.com (Timothy C. May) I don't think we ought to call these uses "data havens." Save the term "data haven" for those places, in cyberspace or in real space, that sell access to Nazi medical experiments, that sell illegal birth control information, that buy weapons secrets, and so on. I fully concur. The connotations of the word "haven" imply activities that ordinary people don't see themselves doing. This means that ordinary people won't generally use something called a "haven", even if they might use exactly the same service called something else. Eric
