<<However, having said that, I don't believe for a minute that industries can be trustedto self-regulate. Government regulation is why we have cleaner air and water, andsafer food and drugs. Try to imagine life without pollution controls (see the devastation that happened in Russia) or drug screening (remember Thalidomide
babies elsewhere?).

While you may have trouble trusting the government, I have trouble trusting corporations...>>

Okay. Now I get it. It's you that is letting ideology get in the way of business sense, not Novell as you indicated earlier.

Personally, I'm all for government regulation of things like prescription drugs and nuclear power plants, but I hope they stay as far away from the Internet as possible. Where to draw the line, etc. are interesting issues, but I agree we should not get bogged down in them on this board.
