> Does anybody out there know of any countries where the use of opiates > and/or other drugs for personal or recreational purposes is legal?... The misconception that "net.internat" is for discussion of "international" issues in general crops up every now and then. It is for discussion of issues relating to "the internationalization of computer software" or some such phrase, not any issue that involves multiple countries (or issues involving countries other than the U.S. - interesting that many people consider "international" equivalent to "not U.S.A."; a bit of tunnel-vision there). -- Guy Harris {ihnp4, decvax, seismo, decwrl, ...}!sun!guy guy@sun.arpa (yes, really)

You are quite right on that point! There were a lot of arguments against making net.internat a 'net.' group; some Americans meant that an 'eunet.' group would be more than adequate for this kind of discussions. There seems to be a bit of 'tunnel-vision' *over* there too :-) ------------------ Kim F.

With a name like 'net.internat' which does not reveal anything about its purpose, we simply have to live with unrelated subjects popping up in the group from time to time. Hopefully, the occurrence of a few 'international' issues will not lead other net.people to believe that the group is really for 'discussion of international matters'! But maybe we should create net.internat.software and move our 'internationalization of computer software' issues there ? (is a :-) needed here ?) ------------------ Kim F.
