There are some laws that attempt to govern private personal behavior for some reason or another. Some of these laws may be good and some might not be. I don't care. I think comparisons between piracy laws and private personal behavior laws are invalid. >Bruce is a moderator, but he can post here just like anyone else.

I would hope that it would be self-evident that anyone has the right to post arguments on any issue without worrying about who they are arguing with. If a post posted by person A, in disagreement with person B, is considered to by an OK post in this group, it should not matter one bit who A and B are. bruce
