My point entirely (please refer to my reply to Ronda). I was trying (and
failed) in using irony to point out that there have never been and will
never be an Internet revolution. Things will stay the same, despite -- or
in my opinion to a certain extent because -- of the Internet. The Internet
freedom utopist should face the fact and instead try to see how the
Internet we have today can be utilized.
