Watching where our tax dollars are going, it's prolly right... ;-) And just to put things in perspective, I've been on the net locally for around 8 years, and this is a backwater hole (despite being the 3rd oldest city in the US)... But - to also put this in perspective... Back then, AOL had a WAIS module for there software - now you can't even send non-HTML email... :-( Altavista back then was actually *useful*... spam was near non-existent, but when you did get it there was a chance it might even be 1) interesting or 2) entertaining... and last, but certainly not least... at least some of the clueless newbies a) admitted such, and b) were more willing to buy a clue somewhere, instead of whine about all those big meanies on the Internet that are picking on them BECAUSE THEIR LAST EMAIL THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS oR tHiS bEcAuSe ThEy ThaWt It WaS KoOlZ...
