It drives the WifeBeast crazy at times, we're dealing with some form of stress of another, and I'm dropping one liners every chance I get. She wants to stay angry, and it hurts that she has to stop and laugh. but what's life if you can't stop and laugh at it every chance you get? jt

Actually, I attribute it more to the clueless thinking WWW is all the internet has to offer. Ask anyone who has gotten on the net after 2000, and most have never heard of ftp, gopher, veronica, archie or finger, let alone nntp. And thanks to microsoft rewriting the rules of e-mail protocols to allow HTML in mail, these people thing e-mail is part of WWW also. That is the real death of usenet. jt

Of course, by the time I go back to WDW I probably won't know anything, it will have been so long. :-( ~Amanda
