I have a question.... Why is it that the discussions I've been reading for the past few days are responses about responses about responses. (I think I saw 5 '>>>>>' in the last article I read.) I have a hard time following a discussion when the next response sometimes just picks at pieces of the last posting. You know, when a word like "loser" or "naive" is used and the person being "summoned" feels the duty to respond? The discussion has been good, but I wish I didn't have to read some articles again and again to get to the point or opinions of the poster. I guess if you'd like to tell me I'm wrong about this, please electronic-mail to me if you can. Julie A. Hoff ihnp4!ihuxa!hoff AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, IL

I would like to see more complete articles posted on the net. It seems people spend much time breaking other articles down to comment on them. I do not have the patience to read and re-read these articles. If an article is interesting I think the thoughts it provokes would be effective as stand alone articles.
