the ignorance amazes me.

you sir, need to read a book about how networks work.
if you think that the collective "internet" with their 10k plain text 
signatures is slowing your ability to check stock prices and send 
pictures of the kids to grandma, you're insane.
you make it sound like there is a bandwidth shortage or 
something....like we're going to be limited to the amount of data 
transfer available!
*sigh*
there are some great minds on this list, providing useful knowledge, 
(laurent comes to mind) however unfortunately the majority of it anymore 
has become people's incorrect assumptions, incorrect data, and countless 
lines of "i learned this from a guy at work who's brother works for a 
computer store" "help"

"you cant use PC100 ram in PC133 slot...."

im outta here. if i need info, ill look for it in the form of internet 
forums and IRC.
