On the other hand the less crossposting the more stagnant the group.
There are a half dozen (including sock puppets) on
sci.electronics.basics who are in pretend land.
The media have deliberately dumbed down Americans on freedom of speech
by hyping naked nazi flagburner parade pseudo speech issues. Read
"The Freedom of the Press" in _Democracy In America_ and you'll
understand censorship is not the solution.
Providing the right stats on posters is the solution.
In any event everyone can agree that there is no argument against
Google compiling and publishing the stats.

strange mixture of good and evil, without which freedom could not
survive but with which order can hardly be maintained."
