I see, it doesn't matter how useful my postings might be, if the guy
upstream of me can't afford another disc drive, and I'm not rich enough
to route everything through my machine, you want to muzzle me.  Now

Europe off the net, to start with, and most of the American ones.
Save us from our "friends".
