Civil Net Philosophy Hedgie's Civil Net Philosophy
Yes! In Europe, even hedgehogs have a philosophy.
Don't worry, it's not Nietzsche!

On-line Civil Community

Not for riches, not for spamming, but for privacy and a civil community
Before the Internet, building trust was accomplished by participation in an informal community, formed by word of mouth and personal acquaintance. Hedgie's goal is building a "civil net" on-line.

Our small hotel, B&B, pension, and cottage owners tell us they want friendly reliable guests they can trust, and they don't want spam. You as guests want accomodations that live up to their billing, hosts who are trustworthy and friendly, and you don't want spam.

We will never spam you and we will never reveal your address or e-mail to anyone you have not specifically asked us to tell (e.g. your host).

We are building an on-line community where people dare to reveal their identity to others and know they will not be abused with spam, viruses, and other nasty web trash in return.

Explore and enjoy!
We also want to match up real live folks who enjoy each other and have similar standards of behavior. We will be putting both our reputation and yours on the line when we vouch for you with our small hotel, pension, and cottage owners.

One of the initial keys to your building trust with us and with owners is your verified membership in PayPal.

You have the option of starting a long term relationship with us and with the Czech Republic. It can open a window to the world of inexpensive vacations amongst friendly hospitable people, who will treat you with respect and kindness. It's an easy country to fall in love with, a great place to explore and enjoy!

Membership
Registration allows you to become a member. You can view our free FAQs, use our Ask Hedgie! services, or make reservations. As we develop other features and forums, you will have access to those.

Trust is built through all our transactions, both online and here in person in the Czech Republic. We're a small business in a small country where reputation and integrity matter very much.

Obviously, we will terminate membership if we have a reason to believe that a password has been shared with other people or our copyrighted materials or addresses have been used or distributed without our consent. Obviously, we would also cancel membership if any information provided by us has been misused (e.g. for spamming or other offensive behavior), or if a guest has misused a host's facilities. We hold our hosts to the same standards as we hold ourselves and you.

We appreciate feedback from you on any place you visit. We encourage our hosts to use the same option.

Why the hedgehog?
The hedgehog symbol embodies some of this philosophy: prickly when under attack or not trusting the situation; gentle and friendly to known, trusted folks. Join the hedgehogs!
