I haven't bothered reading this particular thread up until now, but in my opinion, based on this drivel, you're getting dangerously close to being certified officially by the Cabal as an ignorant kook.
Nor does freedom increase through less laws or no laws.
Of course it does. However, to maintain community resposibility must also increase.
Watch your attributation, Jim Ray did not write this.
You're right. I didn't think he did when I wrote my reply. And I don't now. It was a case of hasty editing without rereading. Apologies to Jim Ray. Should have been: Colin Gabriel Hatcher - CyberAngels Director, net kook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Weller | Weller's three steps to Greatness: | 1.

Steven> Should have been: Steven> Colin Gabriel Hatcher - CyberAngels Director, net kook. Gabriel, were you watching this closely? This is a great working example of all the policing the Internet needs. You didn't mention the spread of misinformation[*] as one of the NetCrimes you were looking out for, but it is a far worse ``offense'' than anything you pointed out earlier (mailbombing, forging etc. are defeated by proper security and administrative procedures). [*] Misinformation in the sense that it is patently wrong, with the facts readily available to anyone with half a clue (this is not meant as a slur towards Steven Weller, he apologized and corrected himself), and not propaganda. Much like the Good Times Virus warning. Propaganda is free speech, which must be defeated by more free speech if it is to be defeated. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
