View, CA Lines: 19 I had a lot of hope for net.sci. It's all gone, and I think I'll unsubscribe after one more week. Its not the postings which are like psi (between a few people, and I can hit the 'next' key). It's the repetition and all the junk (cross-referencing to only-slightly relevant groups) that get to me. In large part, some of this can be eliminated by mailing the original author rather than follow ups. Come-on people! Let's keep our act together. Or is this Lord of the Flies? Send mail, not follow-ups and the first author can summarize. [Do people on the net have intelligence? I wonder, especially when people post follow-ups to places like net.wanted. That's the next news group I'll unsubscribe from.] From the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers: --eugene miya NASA Ames Research Center com'on do you trust Reply commands with all these different mailers? {hplabs,ihnp4,dual,hao,decwrl,tektronix,allegra}!ames!aurora!eugene eugene@ames-aurora.ARPA
