I don't know about that, even with the likes of Stone Brewing, New Belgium 
Brewing, Green Man, and a host of others, my son is doing a very good 
job.  He is getting a dark ale that is very good and I am not a fan of dark 
beers, unless it is New Belgium 1554.  I know it is 5:00 somewhere so what 
will it be, Stone Pale Ale or 1554?

Gene, I cannot find Blue Paddle anywhere here.

I think there will always be a balance. Some focus on making money  
and others focus on making lives. There will always be, not only an  
information underground, but those of us who get our seratonin by  
helping others.

I think much of the Internet will remain free. The price is a  
computer and connection plus time. Yes, entrepreneurs will try to  
lure us to use their sites and pay for the privilege, but I think  
huge international competition will keep it under control.

Truth will out.
