Hmmm. I don't know, but isn't that a little like saying "a request
to Tektronix employees (such as Howard Vollum) :"

Yeah? Says you and who else?

*You* might exercise a little more net maturity by signing your article.

Why do you suppose people post the kind of articles you're complaining
about? Duhh...maybe it's in hopes of ending some other kind of
nonsense once and for all, like, "Say, is Joe Blow out there somewhere?
How do I get to ubangivax?" on net.general. or a tenth go-around of
the abortion argument in net.women.

I suppose that next, we're going to have to endure another spate of
complaints along the line of "Gee, my pinky sure gets tired hitting the
"n" key - why don't you all just submit articles I'm interested in and
nothing else?"
                     sick and tired of being sick and tired,
