It was a stupid idea, since lots of people (myself included) often missed the link and figured the page was simply offline. Sorry for the shameless plug, but I thought I might add that an embedded div, as currently visible on http://xnap.org, seems like a sensible compromise to avoid exactly this problem of visitors not getting to the actual site.

No. Judging from those who support it, I'm starting to think that this great GNU project (or in this case more specifically the FSF) has lost much of its greatness. Which is a shame, since I share the sentiment expressed by other folks on this list that Open Source is a terribly inferior term[1] when compared to Free Software. Cheers, Yven [1]: Not useless though, since at least IMO it often serves, (or at least may serve) as a gentle introduction to the more fundamentally challenging concepts like freedom... -- Yven Johannes Leist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.leist.beldesign.de

It may be that we're content to complain but lack the will to act. For what it is worth, as a memeber of the silent lurkers, I agree with and would second your proposal. As one of the even more silent lurkers I'd like to add my voice to that too. Actually I'm *very* glad that so many folks on d-l are actively working on/thinking about this issue, as I see the FSF heading into a very unfortunate direction with this invariant section stuff.
