That requires aptitude and common sense. Something the troll netkops
don't possess.

Education for all I should imagine.

That's a bit like saying a newspaper should be tailored to individual
wants. Nonsense. Most of the netkops just want comics and dirty
magazines to read. In Brian's (Old Codger from Bicknacre in Essex)
case he just wants dirty magazines portraying bestiality subjects.

The simple fact is if you don't want to read something then DON'T, but
please don't proceed and feel the world needs to know about your
decision.

We simply don't care.

Every one should be aware of the problem the planet faces. Even if you
are sad twitcher who likes to hide away in dark bushes pretending to
look for birds but usually just peeping toms!
