    Yes, you explained your personal and local experience and it works for you. It’s hilarious that a stable phone network with a private/public partnership to maintain access in one country is not unerstood by those in countries who have only recently set up any kind of “stable” way of contacting their people.

    We used postal for all federal contact for decades. It’s really narrow understanding of people.

    But yeah that’s the internet for you.

      The Internet, in my opinion, is the push and pull between the weird fascination to find out when you think people outside the US started using telephones and the knowledge that digging further will not lead to anything useful or constructive.

      And yet I’m writing this. Now, THAT is the internet for you.
