It keeps people from blundering into the swamp, and allows a forum such as has begun to develop here. On the infrequent occasion that someone abuses the knowledge, from ignorance or mischief, administrative measures are in order. Many people and organizations have tried to "do good" by promoting ignorance. I know of no successes. /s/ Bill McKeeman, Wang Institute
