I have combined a reply to two posts here as I am down to my last post in

Nor does it make it wrong although others may not agree with it.  Nor does
making replies to quotes out of context promote any alternative view.

Again show me where the law says operating a root system is against the law
or stop posting as if this were the case.

Taking a minor part of a post and replying on it out of context does not
promote your viewpoint.  On the contary it conveys the impression you do
not have any valid points to make.

I have never stated operating a root system is against the law.  Nor have I
posted as if this was the case.  Please read my postings within context.

> We also have some moral standards to control our behaviour.

Some of us do. Posting about something as if it is a crime when in reality
it is not one might be morally wrong.

I have not stated anything is a crime and have gone to some lengths to
correct the impression of some terms being taking as to mean a legal/law
sense when the intention was otherwise.  Purposely quoting out of context
is an old ploy in discussions and does not promote any viewpoint you
intended to make.

As with the example you just gave of criminals roaming the streets. So you
answered a bad example that was irrelevant with a bad example that is
irrelevant. Please refrain from bogging down my email with this stuff.

If you read the whole post in context you would see what the empathise was
on and it was not the paragraph you have fixated on and quoted out of
context.

The point remains the Internet was intended to operate with a unique root
zone.  Introducing other root zones that may be in conflict with the legacy
root zone is not the action of an individual co-operating with the system.
The main arguments I've seen for the formation of other root zones are
based around anarchy.  The majority of others, have been purely commercial
interests.  It would be informative if we heard from some of the operators
as to the management structures employed by them and how these may compare
to community based efforts.  I'm sure there are some purely community based
efforts but we have not heard a great deal on how these operate.

Feel free to filter out my posts if you have no wish to read them.
