Is the same "The Economist" (the British newsweekly) that wrote the
editorial to have Jon Postel and others who have pretty much kept the
'net running all these many years to step down and let BUSINESSpeople
in there?

(What a way to screw up the net --- get business to run it)

Sorry - but after that editorial, I never want to see another issue
--- what a bunch of shortsighted idiots (and technical neophytes as
well, based on what I read)...

Exerpts and an analysis of the editorial can be seen in this month's
"Internet World"...  The editorial itself can be seen in the 'zine
itself - I don't know if they posted it on their website...
