whoa. wait a minute. wait a dog-gone minute.
who's been looking in the wrong place?

Verio is advertising on al Jazeera? huh? since when?
i went to my list of links and clicked al Jazeera.

it's not .com
hmmm... there's an About Us button at the bottom of the .com version.
let's click on that and see what comes up...
ah, ha.
"Aljazeera.com is NOT affiliated to the Qatari based Satellite Channel and
website English.Aljazeera.net."
