 *Oh my!*  perhaps *we* are getting soft in our middle age!? 
  
 and not just 'prohibits', but *"explicitly prohibits"* 
  
 Seems there was a desire to 'get tough' even back then. 
 Unfortunately, the 'get tough' was directed at only "commercial" 
 advertising :(   Nor was anything mentioned about anons or any of the 
 other maladies we face today. 
  
 A dream come true would be all 3 charters brought current and conformed to 
 each other, (mayhaps making a spot for the prosumer ZLR?) 
  
 and don't be afraid to get tough as hell! :) 
  
 I'm anxious to see the third rendition

 One thing you can guarantee, though: if you don't try, you'll never 
 have to find out it might have succeeded, and you can be very smug 
 about your species' extinction as it is happening: "I _told_ them 
 there was no way to bring peace to this planet!"
