I second that opinion wholeheartedly. Our companies pay the phone bills
because they have something to gain by our learning from the net, not
to put money in headhunters pockets. Our net wizards give their time
to keep the net working because we enjoy it, and have something to
learn from it. The people at AA Personnel are taking an uninvited
free ride.

I suppose Frank Adrian will die when he sees this but can we moderate
such abuses out????
