Actually, I was referring to Mark Evan's readership...and why people were not commenting on his blog. His readership seems relatively active on other topics (especially when it comes to technology tools) but this one seemed quiet...and if there was ever a topic where readership should NOT be quiet, it would be this one...

There's alot of people talking, and realizing and conversing. I think people are starting to *get it* finally, that there's a bit of a problem. cheers, jules Hey there EGuy - there is lots of buzz - check out Technorati and Kathy Sierra - she’s the number one top search item, and has been for a few days now.

This seems like a scary issue and yet no one seems to want to talk about it....Are people not outraged that this threatening behaviour is going on? Surely, there must be genuine concern.

In our case, we knew who was generating the threat but still had difficulty. Your call for an industry-wide consultation is welcome. We're going to be looking at the issue on the opening day of the Canadian Telecom Summit in a session called 'Illegal Content on the Internet'.
