Gads!!!  Either I'm an old-timer or else the academic world sure has
changed! I must commend Brooks for his (initial) patience with Maroney.
Anywhere else, and certainly in the "real" business world, unc!tim would
never have been allowed to drag out this issue as far as he did.  I bend
over backwards to consider an employee's grievance, but I would have
thrown Maroney out at first base if he carried on here as he did at UNC.

I think he disproved his own case simply by posting so much (eloquent)
drivel to the net.  If you didn't notice, he quadrupled the burden
by posting *separate* articles to net.general, net.net-people and
net.misc as well as putting the whole thing in net.sources.  That's
about 240k!  It looks like he tried to cancel some of them, but they
still got around the net.

He sees the issue as censorship.  I think it boils down to some form of
paranoia and a perceived *right* to be on the net.  The discussion of
his mail and these articles might be more appropriate for net.med :-).

What a waste of time.  I'll leave it up to others on the net to flame
directly at unc!tim.  He'll get enough to bring UNC's machine to a halt,
I'm sure.  Somehow, I just don't think we've heard the end of this story.
