You might be right and you might be wrong. Right because the internet is merely the best current approximation of an ethereal concept known as the info highway. Wrong because in the minds of most people the internet is the infohighway and subtle distinctions, architectural details and the like are lost on them. Nevertheless is the newsgroup MUST have moderated in the name then a weekly FAQ posted to the non-moderated group would hopefully explain that everyone is welcome to post provided they stay on topic. I think this telecomm network infrastructure is critical to our economic well-being and we need to encourage as many voices as possible to contribute, even the flakes, morons and idiots, as long as they stick to the topic. -- Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc.
