But the press learned long ago the more isolated an incident is to the average consumer, the more horrific they can make it sound without scaring anyone personally. Appealing to the "glad that wasn't me!" emotion that also causes slowdowns around every wreck on the road and live coverage of police pursuits, your chance to see the horror from the comfort of you air-condition land yacht/armchair. :) Best regards, _________________________ Alan Rowland Former member of the fourth estate. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Randy Bush Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 3:54 PM To: Sean Donelan Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: WP: Attack On Internet Called Largest Ever > http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A828-2002Oct22.html > > The heart of the Internet sustained its largest and most sophisticated > attack ever, starting late Monday, according to officials at key > online backbone organizations. when uunet or at&t takes many customers out for many hours, it's not a problem when an attack happens that was generally not even perceived by the users, it's a major disaster i love the press randy
