hi all
this whole discussion reminds me of the problem of the chicken and the egg
which can first?
what came first the web or the net
is the net a part of the web or is the net a part of the web
i think it depends on where your focus is on but it might be worth while to
shed some more light on this namecalling because it tends to put up a
smokescreen for further(theoretical) discussions
