The slow reload of your massive post during preview led to triple posts of my brief response to you.

Dial Up???? man lets get into the 21 century!
and buy a new computer while you are at it.
sorry about your dial-up access. And i understand your frustration, but the Diogenesis post was one of the best i have ever seen in my few months on this forum and i hope to see a lot more like it. Pictures are a fantastic addition to this forum and they are always welcome, at least by me. i hope you will be able to get a DSL or Cable connection soon so you can enjoy the full features of the internet medium. you are missing so much: streaming videos, radio and pictures, i encourage you to take the plunge and upgrade, its well worth it. there were live feeds from falluja during the battle that were linked on this forum that were nothing short of amazing.
