Doss,

I'm surprised at them!!!! Well, it just goes to show me that ossification
and power-tripping seems to be a natural process in practically all
organizations.

I agree. We're talking about profound, revolutionary changes. Your remark
about the powers behind some of humanity's greatest advances sparked a
thought. I've long believed that the Internet is an outer manifestation of
a major evolutionary step being taken by humanity. I think it corresponds
to something happening on the mental plane involving humanity in general.
But that's just a thought.

I too am having a lot of fun watching it. I think it's a blast!!!! BTW, not
only is the Internet a powerful agent for change, but it is very fast.
Would you believe my message and your reply have timestamps that are only
one minute apart?!!! Not to mention your own typing speed (with no typos,
no less!!!!). Worldwide telepathy, here we come! ;-D
