      Look, I disagree with Arndt most of the time too.  And I hate the way
he posts what is apparently personal mail to the net.  You've seen those
articles:  Subject: To Joe Schlemiel.                   
     But I don't blame the company which allows him access to their systems
for his opinions or his nettiquette.  And why should you?  They have more
important things to do than to monitor their employees netnews postings.  But
maybe if enough people get an attitude like yours, that companys are 
responsible for their employee's postings, maybe they'll start monitoring
postings.  Maybe they'll censor out Ken Arndt.  Maybe U of T will start
doing that too.  Maybe they'll decide to censor *you* out too.  Maybe they'll
decide that the net is just too dangerous and expensive to continue to
maintain.
     It's wombat-bait like you, Stephen, that may make disclaimers necessary
for all of us.
