Frank,
I disagree on the subject of Google. for two reasons.
1. Google is not just censoring, but has also agreed to provide the same
info Yahoo does (this is a requirement of the Chinese Government).
2. Yahoo has never claimed an explicit moral code. Up until their
entrance into the Chinese market, google had done so, and in fact is
fighting a court case against the US Government over providing similar
data (Over Porn as a matter of fact, and the flagrantly unconstitutional
Child Online Pornography Act). Thus Google is significantly more
hypocritical than Yahoo.

Thanks for that information, Adam. I wasn't aware.
Maybe I should shut down my g-mail account...
cheers,

I personally think GMail is evil. It scans all your mail to determine
