This of course it is the essential to me. The matter of discussing the content (in this case child porno but could be another sort of deturpation of the principles of liberation of Desire and what it means for surrealists) can be for another discussion between us. So, i agree. when you mean the sympton, are you meaning the "spam is used to justify..." and the disease the introduction of censorship on Internet? yes, i agree too. That`s why we will must to intervene in a specific matter like that to make very clear we are warned against those attempts of censorship justified by the usage of spams like that and even referring those obscure reasons behind it and explicitly mentioning the probable instituitons behind it (american government, FBI, european union - you have to read the recent news about the intentions of european union about the matter and the attempts they will do with european servers to avoid what they call as "indecent" material, they even have a program to start from February). If we don`t act as collective will be certainly a coward act because we lost the opportunity to voice our protest and revolt about a matter of relevant interest like this of the freedom of expression on the Net. so, you can count with my vote. carlos
