Sometimes I sort of regret being honest. I can't believe the number of people that believe that campaigning and canvassing for votes is "dishonest." It may surprise some of you to know that not everyone and his pet monkey read all of the trash in news.groups and elsewhere. There are quite a few grad students at UDEL that keep aquaria and I let them know that a newsgroup was being formed for that purpose. What on God's green earth is "dishonest" about it? I suppose that you think it is "dishonest" to work for political campaigns or collect signatures on petitions and other subversive and "fraudulent" activities. What the hell is dishonest about passing along information? -- John Berryhill 143 King William, Newark DE 19711
