RE: [A-List] FW: Check it out

["Mark Jones" <markjones011@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the upside of all this burgeoning censorship--the scandal at yahoo, israeli
spamming etc--is that it makes it harder for them to whinge on about how bad
the Chinese are, and how free the West is.

Presumably a list like this could keep going one way or another until they
pull the plug on the whole Net. An ISP I was using took down my whole
website 2 years ago and I was never able to restore it. I could never get
them to explain why either. The content was all pretty innocuous, or so I
thought.
