Pretty much everything besides the plain text html was stripped off the pages. I noticed some of the media sites even stripped off the advertising banners, and doubleclick.com was warning its subscribers about the load. Obviously the government sites didn't have any ad banners. Although it does bring up an interesting point. Do things like doubleclick.com become unforeseen cascade points in the net? They create link between normally unrelated sites which may also link the traffic management problems. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
