Thanks for the first hand gem on the outage. This Internet thing is
pretty cool... 
The ability to get first hand impressions/perspectives on news
events is definitely a feature...
Tian'anmen Square, the SCUD missiles, Milo's (that evil @home IP-addr
hoarding guy) message about the NSS at NASA Ames during the earthquake...
Anyway, enough ramblings....
Back to your regularly scheduled flamefest....
