   At times, emailing Jeff is the only option. Recently did so after a chat rep 'gave me incorrect info' that didn't work and then literally told me to "ask a friend."

   You are not alone. Seems quite a few people really do prefer 'conversations' in which theirs is the only viewpoint posited. I question how many people here are interested in learning versus simply proselytizing. (shrug) Whatevs.

    > You can buy commercial Internet uplink and link up your neighbours... Thanks for this. I've been wondering about this for the last few years now. Guess the idea isn't completely nuts and will have to research further.

    I'm not much for spelling everything out. The OP seemed to understand what I was saying. We engaged in civil discourse and I learned something. Seriously, did you digest our dialogue before you drew your conclusion about my post(s)

    Not to my knowledge. One is subject to search within 100 miles of the border, not just at the border. You might want to search around Arstechnica for some of their past stories on this issue. They've been writing about this for year

    Thank you for your interest. Respectfully, I said what I wanted to say. Your interpretation of my posts is not necessarily correct. Yes, I am being circumspect.

    Thanks for responding. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I assumed that this sort of thing would have more traction outside of the U.S, which would then sort of (maybe) jump on the bandwagon.

    Acknowledged. I actually have a few (of those books). More so raised the points to be objective and for those who don't know any better. Serious question though, is there much (U.S.) interest (define it as you wish) in this subject? Or

    Can't speak to djsumdog's allegations. While they're probably true, it's also possible that people are thinking of a key part of "Wag the Dog" w/ Dustin Hoffman et al. Anyway, maybe the following links wil

    Thanks for replying. Though I've never worked on a campaign, I imagine that it's a slightly different animal. And without knowing which project you worked on I'd guess similarly. That said, experience in either would probably

    Serious question here: Have you ever worked in any form of US gov't? If not, I'd suggest that you block out some time to do so. You might find the experience to be illuminating. Whether it be local, state, or federal government, i
