I'm afraid I could only accept the validity of your point of view if you were to apply it equally to all activities to which people object, no doubt including many of your own. But I don't expect to see you as being as open-minded as that.

I would be quite prepared to enforce regulations on all activities that adversely affect non participants.Quote:

On the off-chance that JP may, upon a whim, decide to drop into the Cigar Bar, it should be forced to conform to his "smoke free" wishes rather than the desires of the existing patrons,eh?
I see no validity to the comparison with drunken driving either.
As we are ALL compelled to drive on the same public roads, I certainly have no issue with a uniform standard of behaviour, but no one has/is forcing you patronize any specific dispenser of the apple...should one be unsuitable then I'm sure that an alternative is available.
The issue seems to be that you insist that every alternative be available for you personally while restricting, nay obliviating, the alternatives open to others.
All this banging on with nary a sliver of PCism.
I commend you all.
BTW-lynx: Thanks for standing in as uber-speller. :D

You'd need a computer professional for that, mate. I don't think a hobbyist could be sure it was sorted properly. Certainly not from a security point of view,Quote:
