Well, the question is whether there HAS been a relationship and how that relationship still affects above.net policies. If any of the named relationships has affected the implementation of the above.net filtering policy then they're still valid as a reason for the policy still being in place. It's always easier to maintain status quo than it is to change something. The named persons might not have any formal involvement with above.net anymore, but I'd be surprised if they still didn't have any influence or "cast any shadows" within the company. I know several examples of this in "internet-Sweden" where some very influential persons in the past might not have a formal involvement anymore, but you still see their influence everywhere when it comes to how things are handled. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
