[net.general] ATTN: ACM Members....

(Yes, I know this is actually a followup)

I think it is inappropriate to put campaign messages on the net,
especially in net.general.   Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
However, I don't want to see everyone submitting their opinion to
net.general -- for ACM officers, US president, or dog catcher of
Sunnyvale.

It just so happens that the other candidate in the ACM election, Ray
Miller, is the director of our school.  He has had a long and
distinguished career in computer science, and I know from experience
that he is a superb administrator and a very fine person.  Whatever
Ms. Goldberg's qualifications may or may not be, I think it rather
unfortunate that the article did not mention the other candidate.

Let me encourage every ACM member to vote for the candidate of
his or her choice.  Both candidates appear to be well qualified
for the position.  But please, let us not discuss that on the
net (or confine it to net.flame, please).
