Living in Southern Ontario within an hour's drive o where the crimes
themselves took place, and knowing people who live throughout this region
[including some who knew the victims or their families personally], most
of the people who I have spoken to who know banned details did NOT learn
them thru breaking of the ban---they learned them because people who know
people talk...  Because they lived in the area and knew the information
BEFORE Karla's trial [and hence the ban cam einto effect].  

So, I would argue that, for most Canadians [and Ontarions], the ban *has*
been successful...  those that have access to the net, or who have chosen
to access the banned material in other ways, yes, they have gotten info as
a result of a limited failure of the ban.  But for the rest, the ban has
worked [becaue teh Canadian media isn't breaking it, tho they ARe opposed
to it].


Just my <rapidly declining in value> $.02 worth...
