In article <1992Dec18.150244.4707@spcvxb.spc.edu>, killeen@spcvxb.spc.edu (Jeff Killeen) writes, for 248 full lines, ... Jeff, if your goal is to squash discussion through sheer number of words, I think that you're very close to success. On the other hand, if you want to convince your audience, you're going to have to do a lot better than this. 10 screens is not debate; it's ranting. Go back, think over your argument, and express it simply and succinctly. While you're at it, take some time to spell and grammar/punctuation check your article. This tome/missive is both too long and too incoherent for a rational reply. There's nothing we're talking about here which requires 30 blocks of refutation. Consider this exercise: the New York times has given you 500 words to make your case. How would you state it? jms Joel Snyder - DECUS Standards and Newsletter dude | Email: jms@Arizona.EDU DECUS is for people who are overweight or are underweight. Come join us!
