I think we can all agree this deserves some kind of award! The First Annual UNIX TODAY Memorial Asleep-At-The-Wheel Award for Brain Damaged Postings! --------------- This "Summary of responses" contained: EVERY response, verbatim and complete from first byte to last. Every mail header, including Received:. Every meaningless daemon autoreply. And of course, full replication of the 50% of responses containing nothing but withering criticism of the ORIGINAL question article(s), which held the former dumb-posting award until this came along. --------------- Remember this the next time you are tempted to treat UNIX TODAY as some kind of authority. In the meantime, don't you think we should mail complete copies of the March 18 posting back to the poster, for unabridged inclusion in the next "summary"? :-)

Included below is a summary > of all responses received. Interesting. Who are these people that responded? I know lots of people (including myself) that have sent in subscription forms for UNIX Today numerous times and never received a copy. I assumed that it only existed for distribution at Uniforum. Is there really such a publication? Can someone post the secret password to get on the mailing list? I admit that I am a UNIX newcomer (only 11 years with UNIX), unknown by most (I am only part owner is a UNIX publishing, training and consulting company since 1983) and don't really work much with UNIX (except for the three systems I am responsible for at work, the one one at home and those of our consulting customers) but it seems that I should at least qualify to get a letter explaining why UNIX Today continues to ignore me. -- Phil Hughes - FYL - 8315 Lk City Wy - Ste 207 - Seattle, WA 98115 Phone: 206-526-2919 -- E-mail:fyl@fylz.wa.com or nwnexus!fylz!fyl "DRUGS: Facts Behind the Rumors" - a useful book - only $5 postpaid
