Tamburo fink speaks for nobody but himself and has absolutely no right to act as if his voice speaks for all of Portal. I have notified the Sysop of Portal of this outburst (not unwarranted but unjustified). However, it is true (I'm told) that there are now about 15,000 users of Portal. Most of which never use Usenet. But since Portal is continually growing, the number of Usenet users from Portal will continue to grow. I hope that Portal management and the users will be able to discount such problems users and keep things under control. On behalf of myself (not Portal, but I'm sure many users will agree with me), I would like to offer an apology for fools such as John F. Tamburo. -Infinite (Merril Weiner) 2000 Burton Drive #109 Operations Research Austin, TX 78741 Mechanical Engineering Department (512) 462-9950 UTAustin (512) 462-9962 Austin, TX 78712 Infinite@cup.portal.com (512) 471-5726
