Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 16 Okay, I'm all for connectivity and getting everybody on the net, etc. etc. but things are getting out of hand. There appears to be some accidental posting of personal mail to this newsgroup - whether this is due to errors on the part of the posters or some glitch in the feed, I don't know. The rules for posting on the Fido network seem to be a little more lax than what passes for the norm on Usenet. Fortunately, this group is small enough to tolerate this kind of abuse, but the noise level is getting a little high, at least for me. I'm all for keeping the Fido people connected here, but it appears that some moderation by whomever is providing the link might be in order. Thanks. -- John Bunda * bunda@cs.utexas.edu * {uunet,harvard}!cs.utexas.edu!bunda
