I know this should go in net.net-people, but can.politics is the newsgroup
that would have the highest interest level in it.
Donald W. ("Western") Acton and James B. ("Blowtorch") Robinson have
deserted UBC, after >2 years in grad studies here. They are now entering
yuppiedom, plotting out their career paths in their respective companies and
debating about which VCR and BMW to buy. The old place won't seem the same
without their caustic right-wing rhetoric to brighten the office. :-)
The good news is, they're still going to be on the net! (Methinks this
was an important component of their career moves.) Don will be working on the
other side of town, at Microtel Pacific Research, near SFU (that's Simon Fraser
University for you eastern types). Unfortunately this moves him further from
the sight and smell of his beloved God's Country, Vancouver Island.
Jim will be working at Human Computing Resources in Toronto (and Don
thought that he had converted him to die-hard west-coastism). Unfortunately
that moves him further from his beloved cousin Svend, who is still I believe
hobnobbing with the Haida on Lyall Island.
I'm sure I speak for all of us still labouring at UBC and the rest of the
net when I say that I eagerly await the inaugural inflammatory messages from
DWA and JBR's new net addresses.

Re the ascention of Robinson and Acton into the real world.
That's funny, those jobs looked like programming jobs? Couldn't be.
Can we assume you'll find some equally vocal replacements? :-)
Cheers! -- Jim O.
PS: I hesitate to say this right now because they may miss it in the
shuffle, but congratulations!
