Really?  Could you tell us more about it?  I thought there was just one
Internet backbone.

You think I am a fish in a barrel? Well, guess what, I didnt think it through while entering your mouth that you're dumb enough to prefer it rather in a barrel!!

So what value do you assign to "almost full?"  There's a difference
between "best" and "complete," which you may not be entirely appreciating.

                                -Bill
	almost full == just after dessert

	and as you (and almost every one else on this list) know,
	there is zero chance of "complete" ...  and "best" is always
	in the eye/routing-table of the beholder.
