Not to lessen your other points, but just something I noticed while watching part of the discussion in parliament that I posted a link to yesterday. At one point I almost felt sorry for the culture/media/sports secretary. He seemed so sincere and full of belief about the bill, but, it seemed obvious to me that he was talking about something he did not understand, something he was not a party to (the internet and it's culture) - like he was from the old world before the net where his beliefs might have been for the good there, but seemed so quaint and naive here. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
