Really? I've been in Long Eddy, New York. It snowed here, too. And I
made a a few trips to the Callicoon Saloon this month. Seems like
we've got a lot in common, huh?

Uh-huh, uh-huh. I gotcha. Contribution... understanding and
articulating... impact... technologies and practices... aspects...
By the way, just for the heck of it, what exactly are the aspects
that the FCC regulates? From what I've been reading about the cable
access wars, the FCC isn't regulating anything anymore. Or is that a
false rumor planted by commies and other evil thinkers?

Did simeone accuse you of ulterior motives, Dave, or are you just
paranoid by nature?

It certainly would help if the Commissioners understood the issues.
Otherwise, what are they gonna spend my tax money on?

I haven't been able to figure out yet how to mail inputs with my new
Netscape 4.07. But I'm working on it.

Is your FCC office near Long Eddy?

They're gonna miss you if you don't go, Dave.

Careful what you say, ol' buddy. The walls have ears.
