Servers do. > Very "zen" - but what's your point? I don't actually disagree with what I THINK your point is. I have acknowledged that the presence of the nasties on iStars servers is what puts them at risk, in their minds at least. My discussion of iStars potential culpability in light of the material still existing on the Internet (okay okay, on OTHER SERVERS), and their provision of access to it, was meant to illustrate the ineffectiveness of their actions at protecting "innocent" minds from that material. Which I suppose was never THEIR intention, but isn't this what the legislation's intention is? -- Bob Daniel rgd@inforamp.net Toronto, Canada http://www.inforamp.net/~rgd
