- Bill Vajk and I have exchanged mail on the this thread over the last 12
- hours. I for one, do not believe that the EFF has asked anyone to "blindly"
- follow some agenda. I believe that the EFF is merely passing on information
- that the readership may find useful.
-
- Mr. Vajk has made many comments over this issue, even going so far as to say
- that if I want, I can be a "good little german" and blindly follow the EFF's
- "orders". I'm sure that Mr. Vajk was just joking...
-
- Mr. Vajk also "comments" on a post made by Rita Marie Rouvalis stating that
- "it is not a good idea to beat up on the gadfly". However, there is no
- guarantee that the gadfly/poster will post in a professional and responsible
- manner, free of statements that detract from the real issues at hand.
-
- I suggest to the readership that we look at what the real issues are and
- filter out comments that are not germaine to the issue - those issues being: was
- the EFF advocating a position by forwarding a mail message that advocates
- position Z AND is their action appropriate? Although the line is a fine one, I
- think the EFF's actions were appropriate.
