- Hey, welcome to the net!
-
- This is about my third week ever of having a newsfeed that ISN'T
- a week behind the rest of the world. So I hope you'll put my
- gloating down to shchadenfreude of the ``been there, done that''
- persuasion ...
-
- On the other hand, the net I log in over is up and down like a
- yoyo. So instead of not getting any news, I get a mouth-
- watering selection of up-to-the-minute stuff which is
- periodically yanked out of my grasp when the network
- dies. It's one of the few circumstances under which having
- another entity go down on you is a peeve.
