And all that from your postings. > Stephen Perelgut Computer Systems Research Institute, Univ. of Toronto 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. -- Jeff Sonntag ihnp4!mhuxt!js2j "What you mean *WE*, paleface?" - Tonto, at Little Big Horn.
