somehow i missed where i said that.  i have a feeling others might miss 
it too.  do thanks for explaining what i did not say.  saves us all a 
lot of guessing and contributes greatly to the conversation.  will you 
stoop to ad homina next?

what i am saying is that policies which deny reality do not improve the 
reality, they just make it more complex and make the policy makers less 
relevant, neither of which are good for the internet.

canute got the clue, we can too.
