RE: UKNM: Dot Com Fever

[Rory Teeling]

Unbelievably lazy piece of journalism from the beeb -

no wonder Panorama is experiencing its lowest viewing

figs ever - a combination of a bad attempt at fly on

the wall journalism (salesandletting.com and

clickmango) and a blatant attempt at creating panic

over share ramping - suggesting it is far more

prevalent than it actually is


it would be interesting to know what people that have

never used the internet thought. I bet their worst

fears were realised. Bad on you BBC.
