:) You have to remember Mark, some people have no idea how any of this 
works and just assume the internet was 'always here'. :)

Hell, I know one poster in another newsgroup who calls herself a SysOp 
(yes, a SysOp) because microsoft told her she was when she helped them 
with the MSN chat network (a propietary; read: ripped off version of 
irc). She couldn't tell me what a node was or how to setup a doorgame 
(doesn't even know what a doorgame is), but she's a 'SysOp' :)
