Though Liechtenstein is the fourth-smallest state in Europe, within Liechtenstein's borders lie 11 communes including Vaduz, Liechtenstein's capital. I would urge your readers, and especially your writers, to visit www.liechtenstein.li to learn more about Liechtenstein, which is celebrating 200 years of sovereignty this year.

It has lower taxes (22.9% for industry, 18% for individuals) and seems to have a reasonable approach to financial secrecy. No restrictions on import and use of cryptography. Apart from that I fail to see why it is being mentioned here. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]

Not quite A. vonBernhardi, but apparently it'll do. Someone at FC this year told me that he kills it periodically to bounce spam. A likely story, but it'll do in a pinch. Apparently, he's done his time as an associate in a law firm in Chicago and now works for a hedge fund in Jersey. Or something. Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.
