         ABSOLUTELY! If jj were to read some of the stuff in net.announce.new-
users, he might have seen that in net.flame "the normal standards of courtesy
are not observed here." If he wanted a gentleman's argument he should not
hang out on net.flame. Some of my mail gets pretty nasty, and so do some of
the posted followups on my recent articles. If he's too much of a wimp to
take some of the heat that he himself has helped generate, get him off the
net. Golly gee Beav. He's starting to look like a goof. Or a creep.
