It's obvious that there are no netnews sites in N. D., otherwise we would have heard from them long ago. The question of whether North Dakota exists is, it seems, a rhetorical question, then: we are never going to hear from anyone there, and I think if it does exist nobody would go there anyway. So I think it's time that we bring this debate to a close, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it... Wayne Christopher

Bravo for Wayne Christopher's suggestion that the great ND debate be closed. Furthermore, I propose that we prevent a potential infinity of discussions along the same lines by defining the realm of reality as "those places capable of defending their existence to the net by virtue of having a netnews site".

if a tree falls in north dakota, and there are no netnews sites in north dakota, and there's no one arond to hear it fall, is there a state for it to land on? -- from "I ching, you ching, we all ching for ice ching", the zen programmer's guide -=- death -=-
