Dave, and everyone:

I could not agree more. In their rush to regulate the Internet, the "network neutrality" advocates forget that once their fearmongering over non-existent issues (no ISP has yet engaged in censorship of political speech) has let the camel's nose into the tent, regulation may be instituted which is not only contrary to their wishes and agendas but harmful to everyone.
