ou know, when you would search something and what you wanted, you actually got? And not someone else's idea of what you needed?

problem is the "someone elses's" is 99.995% commercial.
without seeing user comments there's really no such thing as an honest review site anywhere
(many review sites now filtering, limiting or some not allowing user comments anymore.)

couple of weeks back was looking for a new printer for home
... the amount of bull scat that is out there on the net, research on the net is not fun, not fun at all.


Paying bills and shopping on-line is OK,
but I miss the usenet, (first got on it back in the mid 80's) before business got on it (even heavy involved companies like AT&T/Bell Labs didn't push sales/advert crap through it).

Oh and yes, even back then it had pron, quite a lot: alt.s*x news groups anyone?
