I have sent mail to Tracy twice concerning her questions concerning posting resumes to the NET. I must assume that she never received them. I will post one of the responses in a seperate posting. Tracy, I have two questions for you. 1. In a previous posting you referred to people who post their resumes to the NET as "losers". Would you be so kind as to post your definition of a "loser"? 2. In your most recent posting you refer to the net as a "public network". Would you be so kind to post your definition of a "public network"? My definition of a 'public network' is as follows: public = 1. of, belonging to, or concerning the people as a whole; of or by the community at large [the public welfare, a public outcry] 2. for the use or benefit of all; esp., supported by government funds [a public park] 3. as regards community, rather than private affair 4. acting in an official capacity on behalf of the people as a whole [a public prosecutor] 5. known by, or open to the knowledge of, all or most people [to make information public, a public figure] network = a group, system, etc of interconnected or cooperating individuals. For USENET to become a 'public network' it would have to be funded by the United Nations, and governed by a unit of the United Nations. The reason I say this is due to the fact that USENET is world-wide. (See uucp maps) Therefore, the 'people' referred to the definition of public would be the world's population. Even that is not totally true. For we do not have many countries in Africa on the NET, nor do we have many from the Middle East. USENET is not a public network. USENET is paid for by colleges, universities, companys, and private people (like myself). If anyone wishes to continue this debate, I suggest that we move to using e-ma. The above definition are from the 'NEW WORLD DICTIONARY OF THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE'. The above comments are the opinions of my family and myself. Terry L. Ridder, Deborah G. Ridder, Sarah L. Ridder, Jennifer A. Ridder, and Pieter Nicolaas Ridder. Pieter Nicolaas is only 2 years old but he still votes. Signed The Terry L.

McInvale Hey, McInvale: Lighten up! If you want to flame, send it directly to the target of your self-righteous wrath. If you still feel a burning need to share your views, post a responsible and far more polite response, and don't "muck up" the Net (public or not) with obnoxious replies. [Apologies for *my* posting: I DID try a direct reply--to follow my own advice--but I kept getting bum return codes. I'll take the heat on this one. Just keep the "r" flames brief: I've already done the mea culpa routine. Thanx.] --Jeff Shore @ ..!ihnp4!druhi!jhs
