   I was posting such "calm, sensible" stuff months ago. Did it have
_any_ effects on the pirates? Nope. That's why bigger guns (aka the
FBI) were invited in.

   When people don't listen to logic because they plug their ears and
live off in some fantasy world where their pirating is allowable,
hitting them harder is necessary.

   Asimov still _IS_ a pirate site and deserving of being shut down.
Nobody's been able to deny that, only weasel their way about it.  If
the people supporting Asimov won't get off their butts and try to
clean up its act, then they don't deserve to benefit from their
inaction.
