 RE: your reply to Mark Loundy::: you forgot the FLAME ON/FLAME OFF 
marker :)

 That was wonderful.

 Also, re: our earlier exchange on net freedoms and editing alt.* 
threads, etc.: I agree with your, views, I think... I had only been 
responding to the original poster's comment specifically about political 
bias, the voice(s) of the anti-establishment, and *certain* alternative 
culture boards or groups. I don't know much about how such voices are 
regulated within certain markets, on certain servers, or what-have-you. 
That they are regulated at all (beyond the obvious sys.admin traffic 
control) does seem to raise questions about national freedoms....
 I don't know, maybe I've lost the thread of this. I know the Internet is 
terrifically free presently. I seem to be able to access and participate 
in just about any topic under the sun...and if those don't suit me, I 
could start one myself: alt.bald.dutch.ancestry.anti.badthings.
