As a new net person, I myself was quite confused about that symbol and was thinking of putting up a questioning posting myself, so I was glad to see his. But it really pisses me off to hear that people flamed about it. Boy, some people are really pompous. I've seen that damn symbol on just about every board I've read, so I don't see how it could be any more *general*!!! So I ask the sophisticated, hot-shot net-gurus, who I bow down to and recognize as my personal saviours: JUST WHERE THE HELL SHOULD SUCH A QUESTION GO IF NOT NET.GENERAL?!? I defy you to come up with any issue which is of more *general* interest to people on the net. >:-( Rich Yampell\
