Yes, the same Germany that is restricting Internet access, that proposed to jail Compuserve executives for allowing banned material on the Net, and that has laws making various opinions illegal (specifically, the opinion that the Holocaust never happened as the official version declares, or that Aryans are superior to non-Aryans, etc.). I enjoy all three countries, as a tourist, but I strongly doubt the "its people mind their own business" characterization, even for Switzerland alone (and certainly not for Germany). --Tim May Just say "No" to "Big Brother Inside" We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
