he talks about removing the power from the anarchists?
too late buddy, USENET has been in their control for almost 30 years!
and IRC, ha. in the past how many times have you seen TV shows that discuss how "hackers" use the internet to steal information and whatnot, and then they show brief glimpses of an IRC window?
i mean come on!
just because Mr. and Mrs. bumblefuck in Iowa dont know anything about USENET and IRC, and just use amazon.com and google to find recipes and buy dvds, doesnt mean that they arent vitally important to the history and future of the internet!
