Hi Frank

i really don`t need to intervene about all what you said on the
subject but the points you mentioned will must be the basis of
our position concerning the matter (the spam and the cultural, social,
and political implications it envolves).
>From my side (for the reasons i said before, my english ...) i totally
agree with that points, i mean the four expressed from you. 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
