May I intrude on this strange string, it seems to me that the more ways people have of communicating with each other in this decade the less they can do it. What your gellular mobile wireless telephone, your beeper, your fax machine ,your land line, your E-mail, your work telephone number. Whatever happened to the town gossip, a person or persons with a chain of communications faster faster than the speed of light. How about "The Telegram" always opened with trepidation "Stop URGENT STOP JOHNNY TO ARRIVE IN HOLLYHEAD STOP HAVE FIVE POUNDS WAITING. STOP. ROSIE PREGNANT, STOP, NO! TOO LATE. STOP....... Homing pigeons, write a letter, allright fess up when was the last time any of ye's wrote a letter to or from the ould sod, whats the first thing you do when you get home check yopur e-mail or your pee mail. The defense rests. FOR Mary Magnolia the answer I believe is " .NET "
