There aren't.�we have to make websites unavailable once we get informed that
they are violating german law (and they really do). Using Nazi-symbols or
telling people KZ's weren't existing are against laws, for example. Most
providers in germany ar explicitely stating they won't host any nazi-stuff,
and that's good IMHO. We don't need to make people using the word nazi or
something like that disconnected or so. And that's also good IMHO.
Ruprecht just didn't get the meaning right.
But that's _far_ OT, so let's stop the discussion.
