Tim. The 'massive cross-posting' is actually adequate...
Québecois libre is the personnal address of a friend of mine who also happens
to be the editor of Le Quebecois Libre, a libertarian e-zine.
The Canadian Firearms Digest is moderated and thus, if it is not adequate, the
moderator will zap it, although I bet it will go through because it is really
ON TOPIC with the situation firearms and civil liberties defenders are going
through. Sport Shooter's Association of Australia is the same. Contrary to
crypto-geek that are manaced of becoming criminals, firearms owners of Canada
ARE DECLARED criminal (liable of up to 10 years of prison) if they don't
comply with the red tape. IT IS THE LAW. Anything that will help repel this
dictatorial state of affair, any new idea, are welcome on theses forums.
It is also interesting for Cypherpunks for a big part of the whole story
revolves around computers, censored information, FUD, etc.
So, please re-consider your obsessive-compulsive reflex to waste good ideas at
the expense of an important cause in the name of protecting peoples against
alledged spam, notwithstanding that maybe the readers of hte said forums might
very well appreciate your ideas, which are usually pretty good.
Why in the hell spam peoples with your "refusal" instead of not wasting their
time with a genuine response? A genuine response would have been
constructive, your reply was simply a pure waste of ressources. Cut the self-
righteous crap for crying out loud!
Fiew...
