you guys are persistent over my 'opinion'?and actually my 'idea of what' the internet is, is based on the fact that I was alive for 3 decades before dial-up, and the world was just fine. as for using it for research, I went through college without it, so would also be fine, especially if I knew it would help alleviate child abuse, funny that you guys don't even discuss that... and it'd be a shock at first, but Q said we're going to the 'precipice', so it wouldn't surprise me if it all completely disappears for awhile.
