Wow! I just read the most recent EFF newsletter regarding the efforts of The Church of Scientology to censor (control) the content of discussion on the internet. It's actually a quite disconcerting trend and something which we must be vigilant in stopping. It seems that at least part of the problem lies in the fact that a good percentage of the public (including judges) still do not fully understand the net in general and newsgroups in particular. Hopefully as this changes with time, attitudes regarding censorship will also follow. After reading the EFF article, I also looked at other information regarding scientology in alt.religion.scientology and on the web. For more info on how the scientologists tried to manipulate the legal system to censor the internet and other tactics, check out: http://falcon.cc.ukans.edu/~sloth/sci/sci_index.html -herb **************************************************************************** * Herbert H.
