    [No, this isn't MOO-related, but since you are all the most wonderful
    people I know I want to open this here.]

    So I am sick of opening my newspaper in the morning and reading a story
    about something that happened on America On-Line or CompuServe and at
    the same time noticing that the article calls this the Internet.

    And I'm sick of reading awkward phrases like "the USENET boards section
    of the Internet" which flag to me that the newspaper reporters have no
    clue.

    So I would like to propose the formation of a volunteer organization of
    Internet users who contact heir local papers and volunteer to proofread
    their technical articles to make sure they use the right terms.  Perhaps
    we could make this a holy quest to make it so that even if the media
    can't drop the pedophile bomb-making communist angle they will at least
    use the right words.

    Thoughts?

    Woo, woo!  OpalMOO's back!       There is nothing more precious than
    Rabbits on walls, no problem.    a tear of true repentance.
