Well FLAME ON then: I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU. Dispite what you think, the net is not a medium of free communication. It is supported by both the public at large and many corporations. There are many other avenues open for both political and sexual expression. But I do not think that the censureship you mention will be a problem. Some of the slander may disappear, but I do not think that these people are Darth Vader in disguise. Phone bills are getting so large that the net will die soon unless something like StarGate is implemented. Lauren Wienstien (sorry if I mangled your name) has volenteered his time to set up what is an emperimental project. I support his efforts. I admire what he is doing.
