    I have already given Max the info. The Loz-feliz library has a policy
that anyone using their public workstations must provide ID (library card or
drivers licence). Their personal details are logged. Users can only have 30
minute sessions and the time is recorded against the user. so jamiro is as
good as found. That is if the library has been following policy.
    I dont want to stay on this subject any more but I will say that I think
the post should not be removed from the archive. If we censor our posts, we
are hiding from the enemy.
    If I were the target for such an attack I would feel the same way.
Unfortunatly Jamiro has a right to voice his/her opinion however unfounded or
morally outragous. Jamiro must also face the consiquences of their actions.
If the post was omited from the archives it would just lend credance to the
allegations and could be misconstrued as an attempt to hide the truth.
