The problem here is that there is an inherent weakness in the Internet
process. That is how do you compensate for emergency situations? Someone
could die in a traffic accident, and end up having their name dragged thru
the mud on the internet, because they no longer communicate or complete
trades.
It's almost like you need a buddy system. Where you have a friend or
acquaintance and you keep tabs on each other (or a home phone number in case
of prolonged absence from the internet). That way there is a backup to all
emergencies.
That way we can avoid the "wonder what ever happened to......" scenario,
especially when it involves money or trades.
My 2 cents.

| That is an excellent idea, Gary. Actually, one that Andrew is employing, however tardy, because I still haven't ever heard from *him*, but his girlfriend. You hear that, Todd? There is some guy over in RTL right now that is wondering "What ever (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
