You know, that's a very pithy way of saying what I've said at length over
several lists of late.  I believe I started with the observation that
freezing accounts is something we expect of third world dictators.  I
remember, but cannot prove, that e-gold used to advertise a hands-off
policy.  If they do not go back to that, or something similar to it, they
will indeed become, as you say, a joke.  Which would be a pity -- their
service is pretty handy for certain things, even if it is not,
fundamentally, of great interest to cypherpunks as Tim points out.
