Consider: such a system has been /technologically/ possible since the development of the telephone system. It never took off there, despite the inherent advantages (tracability, exclusion of 'bots, etc) such a system offers. In a more primitive form still, consider the writing of letters to elected representatives. How many people even bother with that? -- Steve Holton [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Convenience causes blindness.
