Re: Is there a Webmasters list to discuss Web Trend & Influence issues?

Jay:
Sometimes there are postings about these issues on http://slashdot.org
"News for Nerds. Stuff that matters".
DSLReports might be a good source for the ISP issues

>
>  -- MS' miraculous release of Windows XP, a monthly early,
