cs22, I'll have my next rebuttal for you later today--pressed for time this morning before taking the Linux+ test. Deacon, you're not understanding my point with the traffic analogy.

Once there came the ability to change the channel to a hundred other choices, none of which were covered by the FCC, the FCC really didn'...
