After carefully rereading both your statements and those of Doc Searles, I find that I've misinterpreted quite a lot of it. You actually gave Searles credit for getting most of it right; which I must have missed on first reading.

I also like the idea of an unrestricted internet, provided everyone behaves themselves. Unfortunately, it's nearly a given that many people won't. And I'm all for any enhancement that might tend to decrease the amount of spam email in my inbox, provided the downside isn't too serious. Anyway, thanks for the counterpoint. I learned something, which is something I try to at least once a day.

All I can say for sure is that the comment signed with Russ' name did in fact come from Madrid, Espana, or thereabouts.

I take back anything bad I might have ever thought about you, Richard. Compared to Russ, you're the very embodiment of reasoned discourse. I didn't read any political agenda into what was written into WorldOfEnds, but I think you must have nailed it.

Good God. I hope that was somebody playing a prank on him. If not, what a crank.

Thanks for that vote of confidence, Russ.

Get a fucking life you hateful fascist.

And get my link off your fucking page. I don't want ANYTHING to do with you. You and I don't agreee on anything, ever. Got it?

Don't you have anything better to say than just constantly ripping down the work of others? I guess not, you fucking hateful warmonger. Please go back into the fucking hole you crawled out of, you fucking elitist dirtbag.

Look. If I work hard enough I know I can prove you wrong about the perpetual motion machine, you blinkered reactionary.

Stop destroying people's burgeoning ideas with your crushing thoughts!

It's up again. Google should cache it soon, as well.
