WWW != Internet Ok, granted, some people do not call the early UUCP networks that email and Usenet already existed on "the Internet". If "some people" includes you, then I guess your above statement may have referred to pre-TCP/IP days and not to pre-WWW days, making it technically correct, and mooting my objection. But I still couldn't resist writing this. <grammar person=nazi> However, because of (the [uppercase]) Internet != (a [lowercase]) internet, you'd still be wrong, because the interconnected pre-TCP/IP networks clearly were internets, even if you don't call them (the) Internet. </grammar> regards, --ropers
