I think you meant to send that to me.
Simple: not everyone in the world has access to reliable Internet access,
such as the Russians. When I had a dialup line, I would regularly have
Russian callers. I had several callers from Turkey and other places (which
escape me now).
Also, if it's not on the Internet, it's going to be a lot harder to track
and bother with.
Side note: I am working on possibly accepting a job in Georgia making about
five times as much as I do now. If this goes through, I won't have to
worry about the extra money I spend on my hobby.
Besides, you know me. Old school all the way.
Later,
Sean
