After firmly denouncing the Internet, the company or individual then touts their product, which will fix/replace/augment the Internet. Truth usually doesn't factor into the denunciation, which is where you get things like the recent conference on "Preventing the Internet Meltdown" - (http://www.pfir.org/meltdown), which suggested that some sort of electronic catastrophe is, dare we hope, imminent. In the mean time, I've decided to enjoy the Internet in the precious little time it has left. (yes, that was sarcasm) -- Daniel Golding Network and Telecommunications Strategies Burton Group
