But seriously, the analogy here is a bit false. It would be like the recipient of the mail signed up to use a service that inspected their mail for them, and made the decisions you are describing. You can argue that signing up for such a service is silly, wrong headed, ill informed and results in unintended consequences. But you cannot argue that it is government censorship. +------------------------- + Dave Dennis + Seattle, WA + [email protected] + http://www.dmdennis.com +-------------------------
