RE: [ga] MY "ALTERNATE ROOT" EXPERIENCE

[Roeland Meyer <rmeyer@mhsc.com>]

You may be misunderstanding. I was agreeing with you, off-handedly.

Most users don't know ... further, they don't want to know ... and they
shouldn't have to know...

I also agree that the new.net approach has serious problems. However, they
are the only one that is using that particular approach. I might also point
out that you are known to be aware of that and have been for some years. I
wouldn't consider you a model of the innocently ignorant user. You are far
from innocent ... :>
