A correction: there was no evidence that the cult in Waco was abusing children - that was government propaganda, part of its demonizing of them to justify its own atrocious actions. The Texas welfare dept. had previously investigated such allegations of child abuse.

Though someone (Time?) published a child's description of the 'punishment room,' that was not my contention. As the author had provided Waco as an example of cult criminality, my response explained why, _assuming_ such a cult _was_ indeed criminal, it's crimes would _in no way_ occur, or be enhanced by, the usage of the Internet. Any crime (apart from white collar financial fraud) has to occur in a physical location, not in cyberspace... Rishab
