[...] The magnitude, even if you could figure it out now, will not be static. As more of us acquire machines and the software to connect, this "domain" will grow.

Perhaps a new domain called ".HOME" could be created, if this is important. -- William Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!sigma!bill chan 'eil Gaidhlig math againn /kha nel' gal'ig' mweh ag0n'/ (we do not speak good Gaelic)
