It is a minefield. I read the one for Holland, where I live, and it is the usual schizoid nonsense, but it is under debate here so it would not suprise me if laws became tighter here as well .. Holland is a very liberal country, but has little concept of privacy, there isn't even a real word for it in the Dutch language, only a "loan" word. The government likes to know everything about you... -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
