    It’s absolutely true - when it first came out, Franki and I sat through a couple dozen url’s to see what other people said.

    The problem wasn’t privacy, it was how very, very silly most of the e-mails were. Whose got that kind of time?

    Changing numbers is a very powerful way of getting information - you can access a lot of information behind firewalls, including presentation, profit statements, job -orders and press releases that have not yet been published.

    Let’s not let the world know they’re leaving these doors open, unless it’s our clients, eh Joel?

    Yeah. Let’s keep this just between the three of us. And the thousands of others who love The Cheese.

    Hmmm, I thought, Hmmm again… whoa this is too much fun, without someone coming into my home for dinner one night and saying… yeah…. I think I saw one of your “silly” monks.
    I feel also that especially, folks at this time of year are ready for something easy, fun…. hmmmm. (isn’t that how you’re supposed to end any piece of writing?) All the best to everyone This New 2007 Year.
