line: if someone criticizes you legitimately, you ought to be willing
to take a moment to consider the criticism as being helpful, no matter how
offensively you think it was put (and frankly, Jim's post was hardly a
major assault).

What he said. Pete and I both know what it's like to be majorly assaulted
by each other.

Incidentally, at the time I was posting this silly rant (that really wasn't
meant to offend and how can an anonymous poster be offended, anyway?) I was
also working on an article for our local newspaper's "E-Life" section
concerning spam. I got part of my motivation for approaching the paper from
the folks around here who have gone on to fame and fortune by becoming "A
Published Author" or even on TV -- Hi Roger, Jay and others. Looks like it
might happen.

Anyhoo, the article is about why spam exists, why the problem won't go away
and what you can do about it.

I hope the article will serve to educate a small amount of folks to NEVAH,
EVAH click on an unsolicited pop-up ad, email link or Usenet link.

So, "Otis," sorry to offend . . . but you got to change your evil ways.
