Maynard) Organization: Confederate Microsystems, League City, TX Lines: 30 In article , Dr. James Waldron posts a solicitation for funds for Unitex. Ignoring the vicious slam against Corpus Christi - a very nice city - as his example of a place that might be misled if there were no such thing as Unitex, his solicitation for funds is contrary to the implicit policies of Usenet, if not the explicit policy of the Internet. To make the point by slandering a particular city is especially offensive. Dr. Waldron, have you ever been to Corpus Christi? Why did you choose that particular city, instead of some city in New Jersey? Or is New Jersey immune to the syndrome? This posting has insured that I will never send a dime to Unitex. I urge anyone who reads this message to not send them any money either. I voted against misc.headlines.unitex because I felt it should have been under talk.politics. This posting has only reinforced that opinion. Finally, if this was the kind of posting that precipitated Patt Haring's disagreement with the Unitex people, I commend her for her stand. To stand up for one's principles, especially when they force a split from a group that one has publicly supported, is very difficult. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jay@splut.conmicro.com (eieio)| adequately be explained by stupidity. {attctc,bellcore}!texbell!splut!jay +---------------------------------------- "...when hasn't gibberish been legal C?" -- Tom Horsley, tom@ssd.harris.com
