C'mon, Rick! Lighten up! Do you run everything you post to the net through spelling checkers, grammer analyzers, etc., or are you merely blessed with perfect mastery of the English language? I don't think it is fair that Jerry is singled out for a lot of criticism simply because one might recognize his name. (Or, perhaps be envious of his fame?) And I really don't think it is fair that we waste all the net.micro.cpm'ers time with this subject! All future criticism of Pournelle to net.flame, agreed! -- :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-161 (w)503/685-2843 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
