I have to agree with Lauren on this one. Both of Mike's examples, shown
above, DID generate a lot of flamage. I would like to point out, however,
that in BOTH cases no action was taken. The princeton person is alive and
well, and the Solution is still posting jobs. What that says is that if a
group is willing to put up with and ignore the angry verbiage of a few
vocal people, they can do what they want on the net unmolested. So much for
enforcement of the rules...

There is nobody as small as those who refuse to accept the success of others.
