I'm like this. The internet, although it can have its bad points, has=20 done really well without Governments, at least ours, getting their=20 fingers in the pie. One thing I have learned is that when you want to=20 really screw up a good thing, get the Government involved. I read a=20 neat way of explaining this a good while back. Governments create a=20 problem, claim they are fixing it when there is none, then spend=20 billions trying to fix the fix that wasn't needed to begin with. I wish=20 I had wrote down each time I saw this happen. Thing is, I don't think I=20 can afford that much paper and I'm not sure I have enough drive space=20 either. Here's to hoping Governments learn they can't regulate thought or=20 stupidity. Dale :-) :-) --=20 I am only responsible for what I said ...
