However my hunch is that it is also a case of "business as usual on the net". Information still wants to be free - and those who valiently tried to do the unnatural thing - will need to reassess.

EVHEAD!: Essay And Then There Was One Wednesday, January 31, 2001 "It's probably become obvious to the careful observer that all is not well in the Land of Pyra. Rather than wait for the public speculation and debate, I'm going to say what exactly is going on (from my perspective -- not speaking for anyone else on the team or as an official Pyra/Blogger representative).

thelordismyshepherd.com: Seeking God in Cyberspace (Home) "thelordismyshepherd.com opens a new and necessary dialogue on the soul of cyberspace. It will change the way people think about their computers, about God, about the future and about the interconnected destiny of humanity in this ever-shrinking world.

A pilgrimage that travels tens of thousands of miles in a matter of instants, from Jerusalem to Mecca, to Chartres, even to Kosovo, and provides a new means of utilizing the vast power of technology to connect us to God and to transcend the artificial boundaries that separate us."
