If my guess is that you wrote that in 1997, and you did find love by Summer of 1998, is it now safe to say that you can find love online only after you've gotten at least 365 million hits? (adding an extra year and half of 250,000 hits/day to your above total)
Maybe David Siegel will finally find his true Swiss love when he gets enough hits...I wonder if he would have found her 3 years ago if he didn't have an "entry tunnel" on his sites...

You can manage your Verizon phone line through a web browser now. I had to enable some sort of new "connect" package option, and now I can see my last 100 calls with caller ID, and the four messages sitting unlistened to on my phone, all in firefox after logging into my verzion.com account.
