The two perspectives I didn't bring up (hoping someone else
would/will) are:
o How does the NSF support/activity impact content and connections
to the NAPs (and to a far lesser extent the MAEs, and the random
XPs popping up everywhere [which I feel are a geat idea {but I
won't keep rambling}]).
o In the freedom-of-speech world, it is my understanding that
there are significant precedents set that say once a body exhibits
ANY editorial control, they are then responsible for all content.
[of course, not exhibiting control doesn't insure that one isn't
responsible].
Of course, in a purely objective, idealistic world, I'd agree and
support Avi's assertions.
