This unregulated nature of the Internet is exactly why I think the more "reputable" PD organisations such as the USA's APDA and NPF, the UK's PDS, etc. *must* get onto the web and provide a balanced, neutral perspective. At the moment information on the web is really there due to people/organisations with specific interests. The material they publish is naturally coloured by their interest & enthusiasm. Fortunately there are groups who's mandate is to provide a balanced perspective - the national PD organisations - and they would be a valuable addition to the body of PD information on the web. All we have to do is convince them :-) Simon --------- My opinions are my own, NIP's opinions are theirs ---------- Simon J.
