    There was an interesting article quoting Kapor on the subject of a
    "place" called "Cyberspace", in a special issue of comp.dcom.telecom.

    It seems to me that if what he terms cyberspace is without
    organization, and needs to be "civilised", this foundation is simply a
    method of filling a power vacuum.

    Which is not necessarily a good thing. Certainly isn't democratic.
