>Are you bank robber? Yes of course, what other explanation could there be? Perhaps you also concur with that old chestnut "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear".
As to all the rest none of it actually answers any of my points in any concrete way. "Abuse" is a very wide term and what may be seen as abuse by one person may be seen as completely legitimate by another. The question was not which exact organisation decides such things, but rather whose particular political orientation will be asserting itself in such decisions, and how will they be implemented in practice. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] Im Auftrag von Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)
