Adding a 'hidden' or 'secret' layer to that open communication is to be resisted and opposed. -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 01:29:21 up 43 days, 1:15, 2 users, load average: 0.16, 0.08, 0.02 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The struggle between people and capital is now an epic struggle between life and death." -- Vandana Shiva, World Social Forum, January 16, 2004
