You show me, dog-breath, where *anyone* from the University
of Wisconsin (the which state's name you can't even spell)
posted even a mildly negative comment about the NeXT sales
program at this university.  If you can, I will promptly
apologize for calling you a name.  In return, assuming you
cannot produce -- I've tried to be a little more than
ordinarily vigilant, both before and since calling you
earlier on this mistake -- I think fairness indicates that
you should apologize to me and to my institution.

Assuming you're interested in a position in which common
sense and judgment might be involved, I would say you're
rapidly lowering the index of your employability.
