Yes, I remember all too well, Vadim...
 
 We called that "McCarthyism", here in America...

(Strange, I just had an attack of DejaVu, I wonder why ? ;)

However, I have to rev limit my political posts, Vadim...

This is NANOG, and politics -are- off charter, as I was recently
reminded.... (Article 6 of the Charter)
   ....apparently , even if it involves the internet. 

So, alas, I must restrain myself, and drop political elements
to "back channel" chatter.....

 However, thank you for your reminder.....

Naive :)  They didn't have to ask to sign anything - you had to, to get a
better job, education, etc.  Not that those signatures meant anything, as
they could just issue an invitation which you couldn't refuse.
