Are you suggesting, heaven forbid, that the BBC might have... well... "sexed

That&#39;s a bunch of hogwash, one simple way of confirming it is that only a tiny fraction of phone calls and emails (even international ones) would have been transmitted by satellite links in 1999. The &quot;every single email anywhere on the planet&quot; is a bit of a give-away too. Black boxes in every ISP in the world??<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote>
