The number of Internet service providers has doubled over the past calendar year, hitting 2,326 at the end of October, says the inistry of Posts and Telecommunications. The access-provider market is expected to top Y100 billion this fiscal year. Subscriptions to Open Computer Network, the Internet service of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.

>>If you're tired of Style Pts, as many of us are; don't reply to him. Hopefully he will go away. L. Wolf That's precisely the wrong tack. Sty Pits is a bully but in no way an intellectual one. His logorrhea exhausts with nonsense and volume. If you want to rid yourself of him then dredge up some of his old posts on this or other threads or better yet take him on at the ASND thread en masse. Launch five posts at him on the ASND thread for every post him lays here. And follow his lead - just type, the words need not make internal nor external sense. Ultimately, it will be the ASSender's that petition him to stop. Otherwise he'll stick around, fittingly playing the role he was made for, the turd in the punchbowl. Regards
