Re: Re: Internet Going Down For Maintenance

[Steve Kudlak <chromazine () sbcglobal net>]

Please Please calm down. Techies and Geeks  have a rough and ready sense 
of humour. There is >no way< to take the Internet down for maintainence. 
It was designed to have no central point of control so that no one could 
shut it down. Don't you think that RIAA would have been filing lawsuits 
left and right if they thought they could take the Internet down or even 
take large parts of it down.

This is a big joke because those of us who have been on this thing since 
it was called the ARPANET know it was designed without a central point 
of control without anyone owning it or controlling it etc. It was 
designed to supposed survive a nuclear war, which is something even the 
producers of "Internet KIlled the Video Star"  understand. I advise 
watchingt that and relaxing. Here is a link to it:

Have Fun,
