I agree that the usenet interface from google leaves very much to be desired, but it also has some advantages because it doesn't require me to run a separate program and I can simply have another tab in my webbrowser for posting/ browsing discussions.

How about the human right to keep your information private how about your right to tell a person a secret but not to have someone else blurt it out to everyone else in the world. Would you really want your doctor to tell the world of your problem(s). Some we all know about but what of the others.

No, you recognize them by the way they advocate human rights violations. > > >Your feeble attempts to demonize others are not very effective though, > >because right from the start I've been advocating universal human > >rights and people with nazi sympathies usually are not too keen on the > >idea of human rights, because it is incompatible with their idea of > >racial supremacy and the freedom of the government to arbitrarily > >restrict the freedom of individuals. > > How about the human right to keep your information private Well, nobody is arguing that everybody must disclose all their information, but once they publish their information, they can't claim they have the right to impose terms and conditions of their preference on their creative output. An artist can't sell a painting and dictate to the new owner that it's not allowed to hang the painting in front of a window where people from the outside are able to enjoy it as well. > how about your right to tell a person a secret but not to have someone else > blurt it out to everyone else in the world. That's not a right. It's not like you can tell a secret to random people with the remark that they are not allowed to share that information with others and expecting them not to share that information with others. If you share a secret with someone, you can only expect them to keep it a secret when you know that person to some degree so you can judge whether or not they will keep your information to themselves or share it with others. So that's confidentiality in the context of an interpersonal relationship. > Would you really want your doctor to tell the world of your problem(s). > Some we all know about but what of the others. That would be fine with me. But that's all besides the point. People who create stuff usually don't intend their creations to remain confidential, they just mistakenly presuppose that they get to dictate the terms and conditions under which people are allowed to access their creative output.
