Tim O'Reilly's been talking publicly about starting a "Sierra Club" which would "protect" the "environment of the Net". What does he want to do? It might be a way to tell companies what kind of software they can publish and at what price. ORA has been having trouble competing with Microsoft. Naturally, they cast themselves as altruistic good guys. Whatever O'Reilly is talking about, it sounds like more trouble from the general vicinity of the EFF Board.

I think EFF's credibility has been pretty much destroyed by John Gilmore's censorship and plug-pulling. ORA puts out good books. As a publisher, they should reconsider being affiliated with a censorour setup like EFF. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
