The need to be part of the whole such as Usenet is providing will never go away . The principal of freedom and order will prevail. The problem know facing the Internet is how to enforce and protect its existence and I am afraid that the "old ways" of dealing with problems such as spammers may resurface . Lets us pray that our young "Republic" will be able to effectively deal with the problem of chaotic distibution of information. Cheers, Amancio
