    O wow!That's the best quote i've read about that subject matter.At least i am not alone feeling that way about Le Tube.I guess it goes back to Pres.Roosevelt and a deal with RCA as i understood it happened.The airwaves for sale.
    We may have to say some prayers and keep these sources of info free.Now,if only Pee Wee on YouTube wasn't so tempting...
