	I doubt if ANY college faculty would be foolhardy enough to try and
	educate you if they knew you were content to let their netnews output
	(from one person!) determine your picture of their college.
	On the other hand, it would be obvious that you badly
	needed the education.

	Certainly you're helping surpress Tim (and other, possibly more
	deserving dissidents who might crop up at UNC) by giving anyone who
	believes it "proof" that someone would regard UNC as bad because Tim
	contributed netnews from there.  Was this your intent?  For my part,
	you've about convinced me of your willingness to form lifetime opinions
	without nearly enough information.  Nice work.
