You are absolutely right about that Bill , I didn`t express my idea well 
enough. What I was trying to say is that the Net is (in effect) free of 
censorship. And free of commercial issues
since those who make web-pages don`t have to sell them in order to be able 
to maintain them(Like TV or papers). Anyone can get a webpage at 
geocities(or similar) and express themselves. This is something new , I 
think. 

So , if you are able to get many people to see your page (via some search 
engine) then
you can reach many many people all over the world. For free , with no 
strings attached.

To me this seems like something to ponder........:-)

Yours , Thomas
