Do they expect foreign webmasters to pay into this?

Dirty - I agree with you on most everything, but that is just the way the system works. Do you want them to retitle the case: Earth vs. Gonzoles?

Several people have suggested that a willingness and ability to pay money towards an industry cause, is a sign of professionalism and worthiness to be part of the industry in question. I would be a lot more impressed if people cared more about what their money was buying and if they made decisions based on analysis rather than convenience.[/QUOTE]

Jayeff,
You always have very intelligent posts. Kudos man, I enjoy GFY so much when its real discussion.

Your questions about the FSC are very valid and just trying to sit in their shoes for a moment I can see where in the past month or so they have had so much of their resources dedicated towards 2257 I can see where it would be easy for their previous mostly 1st amendment work to lose a bit of traction. Its hard to answer questions you pose when other aspects of their normal mission statement get passed aside for such a period as this last 4 weeks have been. I would think many project lie near abandonment, I know in my own office I had to do triage on staff hrs that left projects high and dry because, lets face it, none of those projects can put me in jail if they remain uncompleted.

We should give the FSC time to get their house in order after this 2257 upheaval before we start asking too much more of them than they are already doing. You asked what is the money buying? Yknow we dont know this, but what I can tell you is certain is that having a defense team going toe to toe with the DOJ certainly costs a whole helluva lot more than any one of us have given to them. They had positive results already too. Whoa thumbs up imo, we gave them a five figure amt and you know what? I feel like a million bucks today because we got off CHEAP.
