You are so naive, Jack Campin. Don't you see they are part of the plot. Don't you know that most of the administrators are jewish? After all computers are a kind of media, which, as is well known, is controlled by zionists. > >Jack Campin * Computing Science Department, Glasgow University, 17 Lilybank Actually, there is something sad going on right infront of our eyes. I hate to play a net psychologist, but when I try to think about Jack Schmidling and his postings (which I rarely read, I admit) I cannot help feeling bad about the guy (after overcomming the more immidiate reactions :-)). Jack, I am very serious, I have not told this to any of the people I disagree with. But I really think you should see someone for help. Jack's personality problems are screaming thru for attention e.g. in his use of an organization name in place of his proper name, not to mention maniacal fixation on certain problems. Sometimes I think that maybe he is just an zionist agent who on a rare occasion brings up a troubling issue but in such a way that it is obvious to any human being that the presentation is warped and, therefore, probably does not deserve any attention. In such a way those clever zionists discredit the organization (which is probably set up and controlled by them anyways) as well as divert attention from real problems. Btw, something I never could figure out - am I in on the plot? Am I a zionist? But these are my personality problems :-) -Gene
