Unfortunately that article makes some sense. As much as I would like the gov't to open up the pipes for Steve (for my stock), it just lets the gov't get a foothold on the internet which is something that I really don't want. I want to be able to get on the internet and know that what I am reading is completely unbiased and unregulated. Hmmm...what to do? Edit: Ouch, I really don't like how AOL has been acting. Steve really needs to do something to get us out of this "out of tech rotation". He's losing money too I suppose. Dust
