Lines: 17 The tone of your response seems a little over-flaming. Rick Kiessig has been on the net for quite a while, though his present company is new. I also don't see what an individual company's policy regarding dial-in has to do with anything. Any directory has as much potential for abuse (witness the USENIX list of attendees) as for general good. If you are worried about headhunters, don't contribute. As it is, USENET is beginning to be so large, and it includes people of so many different skills, that a headhunter using a UUCP directory might have as much success as using the Manhattan phone book. The only item I can take issue with is Kiessig's request for other people's names at each site, something I wouldn't do without permission. -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca
