    JT,

    Thanks.

    RF,

    DSL has gotten to be quite affordable. it should be similar to dial up, or so I would imagine. It would make your browsing much more enjoyable.

    The Prof’s points definitely have merit. On the other hand, I think that any practical proposal to limit choice would probably do more harm than good.

    IMHO the best solution is to teach people how to deal with choice in a productive way, part of which includes not getting too hung up on past decisions that haven’t worked out.

    Really like the blog!
