Sucks, don;t it? Context, indeed. :-) It is a maxim that is almost intolerable these days, no? No. The more people are inclined to shut-down services which make the Internet 'the Internet', the less usable it is. This whole situation needs a new approach -- the traditional approach has failed, and I believe that Jon's maxim is just as valid today as it was 2o years ago. We need to think differently. Otherwise, this thing we love so much, and sustains our libelyhoods, will cease to exist as we know it. Speaking for myself, of course. - ferg -- Barry Shein <bzs () world std com> wrote: On January 21, 2006 at 01:35 fergdawg () netzero net (Fergie) wrote:
