I hate coming in late in the discussion.  However, I also feel there are 
too many outlandish analogies posted to this list.  Some persons build a 
straw man, draw an analogy and prove something about the straw man that has 
no relation to the issue under discussion.

This wasted effort has denied me my right to stay informed and to make 
constructive comments on the issues.

BTW, the cost of a domain at $35/year is less than $3.00/month, the *least 
expensive* service --- providing the *most valuable and essential* property 
of the Netizen.

My telephone line in Japan costs 2,600 yen/month, phone calls 10 yen 
each.  My domain costs less than 400 yen/month, about the same as one phone 
call per day.
