A common planet does not guarantee the common thinking. Just look
around the planet.

Restrictions+administration

1.) ZMH
2.) Geography
3.) oppressive *C structure (de-jure)
4.) *C oriented system of the conflicts resolution (biased)

That's enough for the start.

 WD> You seem to think you are quite an authority in these matters.

I just see the results. They are obviouse.

 WD> Personally I think you are just image-building for some other matter,

I think it's my true point of view. The politicians took power
in this anarchistic creation and spoiled all the fun ..

 WD> Where were you at the start to be able to make such statements.

I was far away from here. I joined internetional Fido content
just 4-5 years ago on occasion. You asked people in enet.sysop
to link to fn_sysop to vote for moderator. And I did :)

Bye, Sinc, Alex
