via Doc Searls Weblog - Fight the gatekeepers! FEATURE: STATEMENT OF PROFESSOR LARRY LESSIG AT "BROADBAND AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST" FORUM

I think the soul of the Internet's extraordinary growth is somewhere else. It is the architecture of the Internet. It is that innovation that is built into the values embedded by this architecture. It comes from the access made possible by this architecture. It comes from the control disabled by this architecture. And if we are to preserve the innovation and preserve the growth that this architecture has given us, we must understand it. We must understand its principles and we must defend them.

Doc's has taken to...

...calling unlinkable pages bogs. Like blog without the L. They're link-hostile. Against the grain of the Web. A sand trap among the golf links of cyberspace. A place where connections get bogged down.

I wonder if Doc knows that 'bogs' have another meaning entirely in Scotland? ;-)
