That website has saved a lot of lives. Since reading, I have been bathing in dry cleaning solvent. After the nausea and blurred vision from my morning shower wear off, I'm ready to start my day. ;)

*** Attention ***

It's that time again! As many of you know, each year the Internet must be shut down for 24 hours in order to allow us to clean it. The cleaning process, which eliminates dead email and inactive ftp, www and gopher sites, allows for a better-working and faster Internet.
