I dunno. How are you doing these days? Somehow I made it through January...the most hated month in my year. I'm one of the most optimistic people I know, but that doesn't mean I'm immune to doldrums. Lethargy is an equal opportunity mind-set. Business can be good, or jobs can be scarce...none...
The debate over Net-Neutrality may have escaped you thus far. Or perhaps it's at the periphery of your view. Or maybe you have strong feelings one way or the other about it. I do...and those feelings are just about perfectly summarized by James Alburger in a posting you can read here. Please do...
