   Much of the Internet is not NSF-funded.  Did you know that?  The MAJORITY.
   And there is, according to Dr. Wolff, reason for continued involvement of
   the government.  Don't forget -- Columbus and Neal Armstrong didn't get
   to their respective destinations as the result of "free enterprise".

Personally, I find the likes of you, telling *Bernie Cosell* facts
about the Internet pretty amusing.  Do you have any idea who he is?
Thought you didn't.  Have any sense of the history of the ARPAnet cum
Internet?  Thought you didn't.  Bernie probably knows more about the
history and funding of the Internet from its earliest days than you
ever will.  After all, he was there.
