Please help make the Manifesto better, or accept it, and propagate it!

This is in response to Dr Sanjeev Sablok's request for eyes and ears on the
web...

Though I am strongly against any sort of arrangement as I firmly believe in
the
freedom that that web offers, I would request you, sir, to visit a website
called http://astalavista.box.sk If one interacts with the guys there, then I
guess one can find a lot of answers to your questions (in fact I would say
that
more than one asks for).

Regards,

Abhimanyu Chatterjee
