Just a random-universe thought. I think that is the direction, at least partially, I'm leaning. All joking aside about Stephen's infamous 404 page, I certainly don't wish to paint all *nix users as ill-tempered ideologues, but at the same time what is the point of a quick redirect that people will simply ignore anyway? You've got to make it impossible to ignore, or else it's pointless. Non-violent protest and civil-disobedience have a long and effective tradition of effecting change, and I see this as somewhat akin to a "strike", the most effective means of such. Ghandi used it, MLK used it, it is certainly nothing new. If the goons that are polluting the internet won't listen to reason... I'm going to stay away from insulting anyone, though it's tempting for me as you can well imagine ;-) -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nasrudin walked into a teahouse and declaimed, "The moon is more useful than the sun."
