Let the net grow and become important. Then when the lawmakers come, they will have to codify what's there instead of trying to change it to something else. The creation of a new class of information distributor, halfway between common carrier/enhanced service provider and publisher, to fit the BBS and BBS network world is something that we're almost ready for, but no great need to rush it. Until they start bringing out their goons. When the goons come, it is too late for those they attack, but far from too late for the rest. Instead, the goons are (as they have been in the case of the formation of the EFF) the instigation of a proper effort on our part. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
