Point to point communications, a la variations on the phone system, is
actually more redundant to loss of nodes than the current Internet is,
where the idea of many packet-switching nodes has been largely replaced
by a shrinking number of "hubs" like MAE-West and MAE-East. Knock out
these hubs, with either a backhoe or a terrorist bomb and a lot of the
Net slows to a crawl. 

John McCarthy had a good article a while back on why the phone system
model for e-mail would have been a much better and more scalable
approach than the supposedly redundant "store and forward" hub model.

I'm not "dude," and I I don't speak ebonics, so saying "word" to me is
silly.

No wonder you've been invited into Max Hauser's special, precious
mailing list for a few of his pretentious foodie colleagues.
