stuff delete on the same point
Karl, I don't know who you are talking to. I can't recall ever making
any proposals for free internet access for anyone. Am I missing
something here, or do you just enjoy assuming that anyone who is
interested in broader access to the Internet also believes the service
should be available for free?

Yeah, and some people should put a little more effort into listening
before they go on the attack.
