Another response to this article indicated that we at Entire were an "unusual" situation. How very insightful. Perhaps the .xerox.com was premature (we're having no end of difficulties getting added to the domain). At the moment, we are not part of XEROX.COM and our news feed (roxanne) has only just stabilized. Node entire is part of multi-node LAN and the people adminstering it aren't exactly novices (we've a total of ten years usenet experience between us). I won't take umbrage at the PC slight. I'm used to bigger machines too. But no way does it disqualify us as legitimate members of the community. Entire (the company) is a Xerox subsidiary with a slight twist - we're effectively independent (and apparently are treated as such, judging by our attempts to join the domain). Meanwhile, entire (the PC) serves over fifty people and thirty nodes. It would be nice if we could get some mail now and then and that's all that we were trying to accomplish. When I was back at Harris(".COM"), predomain, the Net Police chided us for not posting a map. This one was premature, I admit. We had no business indicating we were part of a domain prior to actually joining it. On the other hand, we want to get listed. We're real, we read news, and we believe in UUCP. Now, how 'bout some constructive, non-inflammatory comments? ____________________________________________________________________________ Steve Lipetz Entire Inc. UUCP: !entire!sal 435 E.
