And fewer leaving.

The "answer", if there can be such a thing, to the network neutrality
arguments (I won't call it a debate, not after the responses I saw in
the last thread), lies deeply in politics and macroeconomics, which
will never, ever be settled issues--they both have roots in
philosophy. You can't talk politics very long without delving into
macroeceonomics, and you can't talk macroecon very long without
delving into politics.

I've had logical debates with people on politics and macroecon. This
isn't the venue for that. This venue isn't going to settle that. If
people want to make network neutrality their wheelmill, they should
find a better place for it.
