***** Oh, but I Do, Bill. While I may not agree with EFF on all issues,
at least *THEY* are doing something *more* constructive than just
arguing. THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS ARE! While I
am not a member of EFF, I have decided to join after following this
thread. While we may take the Internet for granted, and are comfortable
with the way it has been, the door has opened, and the "Great Unwashed"
are on their way in. They may have different ideas, (kids always do!),
but some of them may be good for the "net". In a Free country, we all get
the chance to spout our views. When we deny others those rights, we erode
OUR rights in the long run.
See, I thought for myself, and it WAS refreshing! Thanks, Bill. 8-}
