Please, lay off this.
Telling Mr. Wee that his governments policies are medieval, backward,
restrictive or whatever is no use at all, and just adds to my mailbox
clutter. If he had written from the US or UK, I would guess the
responses would have been helpful. Compuserve (I believe) recently
blocked access to the alt.sex groups, so this sort of attitude isn't
restricted to governments.
May I suggest that anyone crying bad government at Mr. Wee should
check their own yards first. And if you must comment, please take it
it away from this forum.
Please don't reply to the list or to me personally on this topic. I'm
really not interested. This is a web-security list.
Mike

Hear hear.. Any backwards country/company that "bans" outside sources
of information (web/etc..) should wake up and *try* to join civilized
society. I just love officials' statements such as "We want our people
to have information.. just the RIGHT information.."
Jeez..
