fraud on the internet

[David Casseres]

Peter Giordano passes this on from the NY Times:

>For Vonnegut, who had no trouble envisioning the
>future in his novels, the episode seems to have cemented his alreadycranky
>belief that the Internet is not a part of the future worth trusting."How
>can I know whether I'm being kidded or not, or lied to?" he asked, from his
>home on eastern Long Island, N.Y.,where he somewhat defiantly does not surf
>the Net or get e-mail. "I don't know what the point is except is how
>gullible people are on the Internet."

Cranky?  Ol' Kurt sez it exactly the way I would....


Cheers,
