Such a statement is similar in scope to "any science with an even number of characters in its name isn't a science." I know that I would be embarrassed to share such an observation with my peers. What good is it to post such inflammatory drivel to a wide access network? Are you just trying to annoy people? Whether or not the statement is true, no benefit will come from having made it, you'll just get at least one (possibly two or more) groups of people slinging mud at each other until blue (brown?) in the face. What a waste of time. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
