Digesters,
Chris and Tom Lang both copied this part of Rod P.'s post and it caught 
my eye and I decided that I needed to add this comment to my already 
overworked opinion about Rod's tirade. 

Would Rod whom I suspect has an even redder neck than I, prefer a 
in-contol internet as opposed to an out-of-control internet. 1st 
Amendment, Rod ! God help us when the internet is finally under control. 

And Rod says that anyone with a modem can represent himself as an expert 
or critic .....
Hey, any of us can do that anywhere someone will listen to us, we don't 
need the internet for that. Isn't Rod's barber an expert on everything?  
Most barbers are. (Probably a gross over-generalization )

Lastly, it seems to me that "our" digesters are pretty careful not to 
exercise criticism at the expense of others. Certainly, the weatherstrip 
price quote was meant as information, not as a criticism of GUS. 

Enough of this, no matter what, I will have no more comment on this 
subject, you hope.
