P.S. Tony: the fact that I am an ordinary Internet user and not a hired
gun does not disqualify me from commenting on matters of Internet policy.
You missed my point. I'm speaking favorably
about your participation in discussions -
just wondering why you (and for that matter
other people who passionately argue a particular
point or attempt to speak authoritatively) care.
In my own case, I've been analyzing and writing
about similar public policy, legal developments
for the past 25 years. None of what is now
occurring domestically and internationally is
particularly new. What you find typically with
these developments, is that there are multiple
different potential outcomes that evolve with
time, and no intrinsically right or authoritative
answer - just directions.
