I am sorry, but...

First of all sorry for the late reply, I spent my holidays in my country (Greece) and to make you feel a bit better about the situation here I should tell you that I had no internet access for more than 3 weeks because we moved in a new house and the biggest (and public by that time) ISP couldn't arrange to move the telephone line as well.

Anyways, to this discussion's topic: I agree that we should have some limits and that the "free world wide web" doesn't mean that anyone can do anything he/she wants. Thing is, however, who are those people that choose when and how action should be taken, how are they chosen and who participates in the set up of such foundations?
