I can vouch for the character of itm!bob. Several months ago, he sent me a particularly vitriolic letter, imploring me to change my ways or suffer the wrath of his god ("tempered" by his Christian love). I sent him a similar letter, decrying his christocentrism and his obnoxious attitudes. I should have known better. The path he gave me was hopelessly erroneous, and I got a reply from a system coordinator at one of the machines along this useless path, asking what this was all about. The moral is: when a Bible-thumper ends his notes with "Comments are welcome.", take a good look at the path. Did anyone else get similar notes from itm!bob. The tone of the note smacked of a mass mailing... Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
