Many of you may be wondering why we (Demon Internet) and specifically I
have not commented on the Observer article last week.

Normally, a journalist after writing such a story would have been
expected to call back for a reaction, especially in view of the fact that
we had sent a reply to the editor asking for a full retraction.  As
no such call was made, we were hoping that such a retraction would be
forthcoming.

We have now heard that the Observer is intending to follow the story up
with one containing more "inaccuracies".  I have therefore taken the
step of 'phoning David Connett to clarify the situation.  I stated
clearly that our position is unchanged in that we deplore child
pornography and that we are and have for some time been in very fruitful
discussions with DTI and the Met. police about ways that this problem
should be attacked.  I'm not convinced that Mr. Connett was listening
and await with interest tomorrow's article.  I would have Emailed this to
him but I'm told that Observer reporters don't have Email addresses.

Regards,
Cliff.

P.S.  He refused to fax the article to me so I suppose I shall have to
*buy* a copy. :-(
