There should be a twelve-step program for people like me who can't
stay out of a discussion....
I think we are already on our way to a multiple-Internet world, with
the CB-radio model of everybody shouting about all manner of stuff
ranging from very useful to utter sewage (uttered sewage?), and the vpn
model (note lowercase attempt at a generalizing term) of encrypted
tunnels, firewall rules, DNSBLs, challenged response, SPF, et alia.
Implicit in the latter is a prior negotiation and rules-of-contact
setting, meaning no contact via the Internet by parties unknown.
I wonder if a 500 kc-like "calling" channel with very tight and
enforced rules will emerge somehow.
