Wit all respect for Justice Stewart:
   I don't know what the Internet is, but I know when I see something
   crtical.  :-)

So far, people have been happy to point out that they aren't bots, 
and they they would like to use this list to learn what others think
is critical. 

me?  I want to see IP networks beome so ubiquitious and so nimble
that they can be used for any critical necessity.  This means that
any given network will need to have flexible policies  -- at different
times, different traffic will become critical.

I don't think the typical view of "critical" is able to deal with 
what I think networks should be able to handle.  We still live in
a world where too many people tie the end application to the network
link.  Technology moves forward faster than regulation can keep up...

"My network, my rules."  But I'll always prempt traffic on my net
for health/safety.  Kinda seems like my duty to the society that I live
within...

We can argure tighter semantics once other people start talking
about what they consider "critical."
