I remember that day well, actually. David and I had just finished eating a "Pizza El Grande" from Tony Sanchez's spanish pizza restaurant and were sitting around going "woog" when, quite coincidently I thought, we heard a report on the radio about a terrorist attack on Boston's water supply. Seems some guy had dumped a railroad car full of valium into the city reservoir in a attempt to get Boston drivers to actually drive like human beings, rather than like xenophobic intergalactic spiders from a culture with a deep, passionate hatred of all 2-legged life forms. As we subsequently know, the attempt failed miserably since just as many pedestrians died in Boston that day, the drivers just managed to feel even less guilty about it. It seems to have had an effect on MIT, however, because everyone over there was evidently asleep when the call came over -hackers from Poul and Rod announcing the proposed white-space removal. David and I must have had our minds on our more immediate pizza-induced well-being and not our future well-being, because we certainly didn't say anything either. And so the deed was done, and we've had cause to wonder "Huh? What the hell happened? Who agreed to this?" ever since. Jordan
