JFC and all my friends, JFC's remarks points up exactly one very good reason filtering or censoring is wrong. As spokesman for our organization, I am fully aware of the majority of our members positions which we all vote upon and review periodiacally, and our members are in over 100+ nations, so factually JFC is not very well aware or factually aware. None or our members possitions are mainly of US interest at all.. Never have been, and I hope, never shall be. I can only account for JFC's error and attitude as one that reflects perhaps the strained relations the US has had with France in the past few years until very recently wiht the election of a new prime minister.

Dear Vittorio, I dislike the notion of punishment that underlays Kieren's position. I filter out our good friend Jeff Williams for years. This has not really reduced my information of his positions. Most of them (as Danny's and others) are really local to the USA - what I think normal since the gTLDs and ICANN are mainly of US interest. When they are of interest to non US people there is always someone commenting them, often with how own local common sense. So I am informed and advised at the same time. Saves time for better information. jfc
