Must come naturally to a guy named Sheetz!.

Anyways, toilets were a big deal.  The digital network is a big deal.
The toilet taught us nothing about sharing.  Hopefully the network will.

Quite the contrary, re: the toilet. Dominque Laporte argues in his 
profound and charming little book History of Shit 
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0262122251/leftbusinessobseA/> 
that the toilet contributed heavily to the creation of the bourgeois 
Western individual.
