"Information highway" was an early analogy for the nascent internet. Big portions of it today are more like cesspools, dumpster fires and information dead ends. But other aspects are glorious and far beyond imagining in 2005. Like any invention of humans, it's a tool that enables both the good and the bad of human society and culture. The Silk Road carried war and disease alongside trade and commerce. For better or worse, the yin and yang are one, and for every Newman Numismatic Portal and legit auction house archive, there are fake factories and con men touting quick riches in overpriced bullion and fantasy "coins." Get used to it. -Editor
