Back before electricity, people used to send messages from hilltop to
hilltop, over long distances, by building signal-fires...

This new network of web-surfers who maintain newspages (mostly using
Frontier scripting language, as far as I can tell) are the web
reincarnation of this-- scanning each others' pages to pick up hot tips
(http's!) that we can then pass quickly along...
