Shurr) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories (actually an AGS consultant) Lines: 27 Hey! Come on gang! You're bashing a man who's substained significant wounding at the hands of certain cretins on this net. While I think that Brad's measures are extreme, I'm not the one who has been bashed and villified in his home-town press and subjected to various other abuses on and off of the net (I imagine everyone who's active on the net has been bashed at least once - I know I have been, for STUPID reasons - but Brad's experiences seem bad even by net standards). If there's any hope that Brad might relax his stand, bashing him and telling him that he is non-essential will not do it (Brad I don't think you're non-essential - I have no idea who else would do it, I know that I have zero time to spend doing what you do). After all he's been through, I don't know why he hasn't issued a scr*w-you-and- rmgrp on rec.humor.funny and taken a long vacation. regards, Larry (Hmmm... Maybe I should not have abused the cretins on-net. The Delaware Gazette is a small-town newspaper and "Local Computer Professional Offends Someone in Boston Using Computer Network" (see related story, "Computer Viruses" on page 10) might make the headlines if it was really a slow news day). -- Signed: Larry A.
