It's not my problem that some information offends you. Moreover, as Toad already mentioned, there are plenty of places on freenet that already classify and censor their content. Your suggestion that "ALL information MUST be roughly classified" is naive and impossible. It's pretty much the same thing as saying "ALL bad things MUST be controlled and eliminated". Unfortunately, even if it were logistically possible, your conception of what is good and bad obviously will not correlate with your neighbour's--and definitely not with mine. All you actually want is more people that think like you to join freenet (and self-filter yourselves in your own sheltered community)--and I'm all for that :)--the more the merrier (though I don't agree with your thinking). And this (web-of-trust) already has been implemented for newsgroups, and will soon expand to cover a broader range of content. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
