Yes and we do that because the only way for individuals and families
to have unmonitored services locally is to run their own and if they
were capable then they wouldn't need out advice.

Well it is the quickest and easiest way to do it, no fiddling with
local routes to determine whether the advertisement is local and
therefore already monitored or not.

That would be interesting to see.

One matter I'm more interested in and this list could certainly help
with is determining who has been granted an extension and who hasn't.

Now I know that those with extension have them on the proviso that
they not discuss that or otherwise reveal it or what the plan to be
implemented consists of.  So instead I propose that those who have
implemented their plan state that they have and at least list whether
communication is being interpreted as each email or IM connection, or
if it actually means each packet.  Since the government never actually
specified that publicly, just let politiicians with little clue and
worse sense talk about it.

Anyway, that way we can make sure that those with exemptions don't
break their word, whilst still revealing what everyone really needs to
know over the next 18 months.

Ben
