Moffett ...!{ihnp4,hplabs,sun}!amdahl!gam HOW DOES A BLIND AD HURT ANYONE?? If one doesn't like blind ads then one does not need to express any interest. I would rather see blind ads for jobs in net.jobs than the large amount of flames and discussion that I've been seeing today. I know, this is a flame too, but i finally decided I had to say something. Let's carry this discussion to a more appropriate area (I don't know where to suggest). _____________________________________________________ "One more red nightmare..." John J.
