[Menso Heus]

Rant that summarizes some concerns that have been floating around about the
Internet and the attitude of it's users for a ewhile quite nicely.

Quote:

"I can name 20 people from my old school class who aren't in Google. I 
 can walk into any public library, no matter how tiny and underfunded, 
 and find facts, stories, amazing information I would never touch in a 
 month of webcrawling. I can go into a bar and hear stories Usenet hasn't 
 come close to in its 22 years of waffle. "Oh but what about the stuff you 
 CAN get on the web?" the netheads say. But they're missing the point."


enjoy,

Menso
