~=	/* flame on!! */
As for Jim Grams' immediate dismissal of a fellow netter because
he was "a kid"; let's all get together and pray that Jim Grams'
never has any children of his own -- for their sake.

This kind of attitude breeds several things:

a) children's contempt of adults
b) spineless, brow-beaten adults because they were "just kids"
   until they turned about 23
c) bad public image of computer professionals as insensitive,
   anti-social flakes.

The fact that the "kid" (I forget his name) is working on computers
on his own time and taking the time to keep himself better-informed
by reading the net, and brave enough to enter this flame-filled
forum; shows that he probably has a lot more moxy and initiative
than Mr. Grams' ever will possess.

I realize that this should have gone to net.flames, I hit the 'f'
key too soon again and sincerely apologize to net.movies readers,
