| The censorship is run by IWF, but no one forced you to join in the first
| place. I just hope you
| realised what sort of backlash (or Streisand Effect, making Virgin Killer the
| most visited wikipedia
| article by several thousands pageviews)
| your (and other ISP's) action created. We are not in China
| or in Australia. About Phorm, I just hope you will inform me as promised, I
| take you by word.
| Now, to the major problem I have got with your company. What does it mean,
| exactly, that
| you take matters like “false advertisement” and “lying to potential customer”
| very seriously? I don't
| really care what happened to your sales person, I would like to know what are
| your procedures in
| cases like this with regard to your customer.
| Moreover, I don't really care about your agreements
