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).
