Please tell me this message was supposed to be posted next saterday.
It would indeed be an excellent April Fool's day joke, given how many people seriously reply to this. Of course it can not be serious. It's surprising however that no-one realizes that this must be joke. If the poster had given the similar silly argument "we should abandon all airplane flights -- after all, who ever needs to ever visit people in other states, or -heaven forbid- other countries", then I think the joke would be too obvious.
Actually, given the many serious replies, it makes makes me realize that a lot of people apparently still don't grasp what the Internet (or thinking globally) is about. If you really grok it, then the only conclussion can be that this article is a prank.
