A lot of interesting stuff has been said on the internet-history mailing
list over at postel.org on the subject of SOPA on a thread about the EFF
calling for tech people signatures against the bill.
Interested people can consult the whole thread here
<http://mailman.postel.org/pipermail/internet-history/2011-December/thread.html>.
Most interesting exchanges came from answers to and from Richard Bennet,
as well as an argument debate (thx Dorothy ;) ) between John Curran and
Paul Vixie.
