Inside those organizations. Inside their transit providers. Inside
the call centers of the big eyeball networks. Etc. It would be a
Big Deal on the 'Net.
Of course, the Internet is not "real life", but neither is just about
any other business. That doesn't mean they aren't important.
Although I do admit "panic in the streets" is hyperbole - but I
recognized it as hyperbole. (Not that YOU have ever used hyperbole
in your posts, Randy. :-)
