I think we're starting to drift into ad-hominem areas, but ...

My concerns were the defense of the refusal to provide
take-down URLS and meaningful information info by the ABA,
while not declaring the relationship (if any) between the entities mentioned.

The invocation of the "child-porno" spectre seemed just a diversion from
the real issue - a TOTAL lack of info about the ABA's activities in this area.

Given the recent seminars conducted by commslaw and NetAlert, and attended by
David, I would have expected a more detailed disclosure when taking
the defensive position he appears to have adopted.

I'm contemplating becoming a "Filter Vendor" if for no other reason than
to see what contractual restrictions are placed on the agreement and/or
the data ! (and, yes, I do have the credentials and skill to do that).
