Mr. ssc-vax!jobe, I don't know who you are, or why you are so angry, but I would like to remind you that profanity is severely frowned upon when posting articles to this public information interchange. I think that your employer, the Boeing Airplane company, probably does not condone such wanton and flambuoyant misuse of this quite expensive tool, either. I have posted this article to net.admin as well as to the newsgroup net.flame where your missive appeared, in an effort to remind system adminsitrators that at least some of us who read the news, gossips, jokes, et al., are concerned about being exposed to this kind of blatant, vituperative garbage. I feel that they have at least some responsibility in this regard. If you are *that* angry about something you read on your computer terminal, perhaps you could press your 'r' key, rather than 'f', and subject all of us to your rage. Yes, it was net.flame, but I have never read such a lot of gutter language all in one place in, oh, just ages. Thank you. Gary Benson John Fluke Mfg. Co. Everett, WA, USA !fluke!inc
