 Crocker: answer the fucking question
 and stop the evasive maneuvering!
 You following this, Al? Jim keeps
 asking the same question which is
 as follows (I quote):

 Mr. Dixon asked if a court order
 issued in Canada or the UK or the
 US can be enforced against CORE (a
 Swiss 'Verein' style association).
 None of the CORE guys want to answer
 the question, Al. Because the truth
 is millions of Americans (and my
 fellow Canadians!) will be out in
 the cold. It's hard enough dealing 
 with Internic. Just wait until they
 abscond the whole scene to Swiss
 courts! IMPOSSIBLE!
