This is due to the presence of >woman-hating unix wizards and hackers who delight in sabotaging the >software that Berkeley is charging me a 100% differential to use. > >--Mark If you know of any "woman-hating unix wizards" working for the UCB computer center (aka Computer Facilities & Communications and Academic Computing Services), then NAME THEM! Otherwise retract the accusation. I have worked since 1982 as a "unix wizard" (we prefer the term "unix doctor") for the computer center. I dont know any such bigots among my fellow programmers here. Your accusation is as serious as a charge of racism; to apply it without factual basis is character malignment. Next time you are about to post a complaint about anyone, reread it as if it were addressed to yourself and consider the impression.
