  • Keep, notable. Peacefire and its operator, Bennett Haselton are/were involved in: Litigant in ACLU sponsored lawsuit, testimony before congress' COPA commission, early spam testcase, battles (later defended by ACLU) against webfilter software makers (wired magazine), EFF/aclu cybersitter case,NEWS.com interview, hotwired story, described by AP as "high-profile anti-spammer" -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:42, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep: Very notable site. It's sometimes shady, sometimes libertarian, but it has made a big splash in the real world, so our having an article about it is not webguide stuff. The site has been a consistent (and litigious) opponent of filter and blocking software. Geogre 18:13, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Alert: I've been trying to add to the article. When it was nominated, Niteowlneils was right in doing so: it was a single line and a screen capture, and it looked just like any other piece of linkspam. I invite everyone who sees this to improve my poor efforts and add what they know. Were I not a school technology director, I might have no clue about this site, either.

  • Keep. Peacefire has had a real and notable impact on the web, and the revised article is well-written and informative. —Triskaideka 20:01, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Definitely keep. Absolutely notable. — Gwalla | Talk 02:43, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Certainly keep now that it sheds some light on what the article is about (altho' it could use some specific examples in it, like from Finlay's list, above). Niteowlneils 03:30, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment:I won't vote per se, since I've had interaction with them from a library-database filtering fight a few years ago, so I'll abstain as being myself non-NPOV. Googling "Bennet Haselton" as a phrase gets a couple of thousand hits, though. -FZ 15:54, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Definite keep in present form. They are notable and have done important work. Good article now. Nice work, Geogre. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:45, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. cesarb 02:16, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
