How is being a 'ubiquitous surveillance fanatic' (which Mr Zero has
admitted to being) not equal to advocating that everyone reveal their
address, as well as all sorts of other personal, private information,
over the internet? He claims that he supports ubiquitous surveillance
for the most altruistic of reasons, yet the simple test of his own
personal commitment to lead by example fails, and exposes that he is not
being altruistic or honest.

Actually, Harvey, I asked him first, so don't feel responsible on my
account. I will stop attacking him, though, because it seems that there
are plenty of other people on the list who have come to the conclusion
that he or his idea is full of it, too, that surveillance is not what he
would like it to be.
