[Peace-discuss] egg on face (was: FWD: WTO to disband)

[Jim Buell]

Okay, I've been snookered, taken in, bamboozled - and inflicted it on you 
all too. An alert friend responded with this:

>Hey Jim
>Don't know for sure if its a hoax, but I am deeply deeply suspicious. If 
>you go to www.wto.org you see the exact same web page, but without the 
>announcement of WTO disbanding. Also, the links of gatt.org mostly lead to 
>wto.org, with the exception of the disbanding announcement and a couple 
>other things. My guess is some clever person found out that gatt.org 
>wasn't taken and copied the WTO page and modified it.
>But who knows - maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.


Following up, I belatedly checked ownership of www.gatt.org via a web 
search. Here's what turns up on a "WHOIS" search:

Must be a different GATT ;-). Sorry about passing along ludicrous bytes - 
but wasn't it fun while it lasted?
