Whooptideedo.  We have people here in tech pubs that have access to Usenet
but wouldn't know the difference between a csh and a sea shell.  Unless you
know for a fact that the guy is on the engineering staff, and in a relevent
department, you can't guage their postings based on the company/organization
they work for.  Isn't that why we make our disclaimers as stupid as possible
instead of legally accurate?
