Yes, I remember all too well, Vadim... We called that "McCarthyism", here in America...
(Strange, I just had an attack of DejaVu, I wonder why ? ;) However, I have to rev limit my political posts, Vadim... This is NANOG, and politics -are- off charter, as I was recently reminded.... (Article 6 of the Charter) ....apparently , even if it involves the internet. So, alas, I must restrain myself, and drop political elements to "back channel" chatter..... However, thank you for your reminder..... "Those who fail to learn from History are Doomed to repeat it!" :\ .Richard. "First they came for the dissidents, and I didn't care, as, I wasn't a dissident..."
