  "As much as we can know anything, we know that when the net was
conceived, it grew like any good blastocyst.  Eventually it split,
grew some more, split again, on and on.  The details left to us are
blurred by time and propaganda claims.  Even if this weren't so, you
can't track the growth every cell in an organic thing."

  I wrote this fragment late last night as part of a future-setting of
the "net" for a story I'm putting together.  This morning, Worldcom
bought MFS (who'd already bought UUNET).  Weird.
