There is much we agree with in your positions. But as you see, I was certainly not the only one to get that reading from your post... the more so since it's a mind-frame which is far too frequent (and certainly involuntary) among your fellow Americans. You are far from the worst on this... but it happened that your post was the one which became the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back". So please forgive the somewhat impatient tone, and try to think a little more of us furriners when you throw things especially at lists which have a declared international scope, such as cyber-rights and CPSR-global. 8-) Yves Leclerc Dead-End Democracy? or open-ended government...
