Eric, We don't have to politely disagree. Such a shame. I guess I've only got Frank to pick on. Poor fella. :) --Mike Buckley

Mike, << << As for AOL, it's neither a King nor a Prince as you suggest. It's a Godzilla >> An update or rememberance ... Back on April 8, the good Uncle and I were "debating" <g> the classification of AOL. Remember that Geoff had not yet started using the term Godzilla. I told Frank: "I think Curbstone described AOL (and Yahoo) perfectly. I will consequently stop trying to classify them further. The four horsemen are easy. The "Internets" a whole new species that will probably be the subject of Geoffrey's next book. <g>" Frank agreed, and it appears I was a bit prophetic but I still like Curbstone's (Aloha Mike's) description in post # 1215: "They are some bizarre type of hybrid, I think they resemble a winged, flying gorilla wearing a crown and tutu, swinging a little wand with little sparkly dollar-signs coming out." - Eric -
