Chuck and I have our disagreements, but forging >stupid messages from him is beneath contempt. I was paying attention. It doesn't really matter who sent the series of (more than two) questions, the person who sent them deserved a reply. Sending it by email would have possibly angered an innocent, and the subsequent minor flamewar would have made the responsible party too happy for his own good. I wanted to get the questions buried quickly. They were uniformly designed to generate heat (some more successfully than others), and the tactic of cross-posting them only makes it worse. Whoever is responsible thinks the net's a bit too quiet recently. Candidates, anyone? -=- J Greely (jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu; osu-cis!jgreely)
