Bonjour, Bryan.
I don't think Nostradamus had much to say about the Internet.
However, his cousin Nospammus wrote many cryptic quatrains about
unwanted advertising, inboxes, Bayesian filters, and mice. Naturally,
Nospammus was quickly shuttled off to the looneybin (or, as the French
call it, le casier de lune).
(I would have posted this in the "Comments" section, but I think it's
turning Japanese. I really think so.)

Bonjour, Your Highness
I am honoured and humbled by your visit.
Next time, please ask your Equerry to call so that the appropriate
arrangements can be made.
And what is this? Parleying in a Foreign Lingo!
Please don't let the Tulsavians hear about this or you might get
dipped into the local pond. You know what they're like.
Yo soy muy intrigué bei Monsieur Nospammus.
Et, s'il vous plait ...
Quel est votre recherche stratégique?
Your Servant
Bryan the Good

called Redneck. Does anyone in the UK speak Redneck?)

Thanks Panks
I see that you are back to your GIDdy best.
Regarding Redneck, here in the UK it has been taught in all of our
best Universities, alongside Latin and Greek, ever since Rodgers &
Hammerstein popularised Redneck-speak in their opus 'Okinawa'.
If it should ever come round your way, Don't Miss!
Your Cultural Attaché

Bryan,
Speaking of giddiness...
In the "Comments" section of another question (which has now been
canceled by the asker), you inquired about my use of the abbreviation
'GDI' in connection with college fraternity and sorority matters.
When I was an undergraduate in the 1960s, GDI was a slang term for
those of us who were not affiliated with a sorority or fraternity. GDI
stood for "G*d Damned Independent."
But I like your suggestion, "Google Dollybird In-the-Making," much better. :-)
~Pink, GDI (Glad, Ditsy Introvert)

Welcome Back, Your Highness
And for taking Thy valuable time to provide Thy Humble Servant with a
gracious explanation of GDI.
With that burning issue safely defused, we can now restrict our
efforts to finding those damned WMD.
Wouldst Thou care most graciously to advise if, in Thy esteemed
opinion, it is worth speculating another $2 (plus 50 cents
Administration Fee) to enquire if Thee or any of Thy worthy colleagues
could provide the necessary co-ordinates?
Cherie sends her warmest regards
B
