Gall) Organization: York University Department of Philosophy Lines: 19 I am certain that this has occurred to some, but obviously not to those that bitch but: This sort of 'one-shot' advertising, specifically the advertisment of a USENet-type news service, helps not only 'big-bad-Brad' but us too!! I for one would love it if my institution subscribed. I'd be far better off than now, and I don't care if someone makes money off it--somebody has to! If not Ma Bell in her many guises then one of us... Forget it! Templeton used the nets for a very specific advertisement aimed only at those that would be best informed of it. nrg -- York University Department of Philosophy Toronto, Ontario, Canada "It's only by thinking even more crazily than philosophers do that you can solve their problems." -- L.
