I can hope the Information Decency b.s. is really a dead issue, but if
the flag-burning amendment (which was declared a dead issue during the
Bush years after he used it to smokescreen the S&L scandal he was
entrenched in) is indeed back, it looks like the issue of cyberspace and
its contents will be rotating back in before very long... theory is, the
less a government understands something, the more they want to regulate
it. So get your bomb plans and porno-GIF/JPEGs while you can... :)
This post is a thinly veiled attempt to test 2qwk! 2.0b5, by the way.
And it works rather nicely; very stable and all systems are go.
