What and how must they be teaching 'anything' at the University of Texas if Bill Jefferys of the Astronomy Dept fame asks, "what good is the reference of an umpublished manuscript?" I don't know what he uses for research but when I do research it is quite common to see such unpublished sources mentioned. The one sited may be obtained by writing to the address given I would presume. Many 'unpublished' sources are kept on file for the public to use and so mentioned in all kinds of scholarship. I just referenced Bill's unpublished? posting to the net, eh? If he cares to reply to me he can reference mine. Of course I can ask what good is it. Bill, I find your signature line by Blaise Pascal about the evil men do in the name of religion very interesting. You realize of course Pascal was a VERY religious man, as seen in his PENSES, and while his statement is very true, in no way has anything to say about religious conviction per se at all. Just how/ why DO you use this particular signature line?? Regards, Ken Arndt

Why does it have to have anything to do with religious conviction? I think that he's just stating something that Blaise Pascal has said that he agrees with. Even you agree with the statement. Do you feel anything is wrong with his signature line, or are you just curious? If you do think that something is wrong with his signature line, just how/why DO you find his use of that particu- lar signature line bothersome? -^@[;:]\, Dave Long -- gnoL evaD Beware of {msoft,allegra,gsgvax,fortune,hplabs,idi,ios, Black ICE nwuxd,ihnp4,tolrnt,tty3b,vlsvax1,zehntel}!oliveb!long
