You are suggesting your values should take precedence over mine. I'm involved in the community for the very values which certain individuals wish to expunge. There is no mechanism for both communities to consider themselves the same community, so either values come in common or people go elsewhere. If the new community takes over from the old then so-be-it, but it needs to be recognised that they didn't add themselves to the community without subtracting others (such as myself). -- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> "The government, lobbied by legacy copyright holders and hardware manufacturers, can pry my camcorder, computer, home theatre, or portable media player from my cold dead hands!" http://c11.ca/own
