For goodness sake Jan, spit it out. I was brought up to believe that access
to knowledge was something worth fighting for. We have education, laws and
penalties to try and control how an individual behaves, we have no right to
to seek to control behaviour by controlling access to knowledge. If your
predecessors had adopted this attitude you would probably still be
practicing alchemy my friend.
