A BBS is not a right... I don't know about Sweden, because I don't live there. People have rights to ask questions, that's true. However, we have the right not to answer certain questions, don't we? :-) I'd like to make difference between asking one's birthday and asking one's social security number. Birthday isn't so intimate as soc.sec. number, and I will tell my birthday to get access to a BBS, if the sysop requires it. But I will NEVER tell my soc.sec. number for such reason. Requiring it can be considered illegal. > -- > ============================================================================== > (.)
