First, I would like to apologize to the network for the posting of
this message to this newsgroup. I wouldn't normally do so, but I lost
the address to 'Metzger' and need to communicate with him. Please
accept my apologies.
Metzger, this network is all too often filled with messages from
people that talk (or write as the case might be) without thinking.
It appears that you are one of those people. Perhaps next time
you would collect your facts before wasting my time, and that of
all the machines responsible for routing messages between your site
and here.
It is difficult to convey to Prentice-Hall rudeness through the mail,
especially when the only communication was a check and the card from
the back of the book. My only oral communication with them was when I
called them recently, and unlike you, I never assume the person at
the other end is a fool or an idiot. I am never rude to an unknown
person, unless provoked.
My advice to you is never, never open your mouth or write a letter
unless you are well aware of the facts. It is better to be thought
a fool than to be known a fool.

not an employee of Codex
