I would suggest that if the Stargate net starts to look oppressive,
either by heavy handed moderation or because major landlinks start to
go away, that those who believe in free expression retaliate by not
making their contributions available to Stargate.  Copyright your
postings and specifically deny republication rights in any
forum that does not, as a matter of policy, publish ALL submissions.
If a significant portion of the technical material became unavailable
to the moderated service it might make it look a lot less desirable.

If there was no significant loss of material we would simply have to
conclude that it wasn't an important issue to those who generate the
technical material.  That's freedom.
