The ban has been broken for the few of us computer-philes who actually have access to the Net, and those few curiosity-seekers who live close enough to the border to drive across and pick up newspapers. Surveys in southern Ontario have shown that an estimated 75% of people here *haven't* heard banned details. Remember, the point of the ban was to enable the empanelling of an unbiased jury. If over 3/4 of Ontario hasn't heard or read the banned information, then, broken or not, such folks should be easy to find, and the ban has been a success. - michael
