First we have the Indian discussion which contains (apparently) more mis- information and speculation than anything else. Then if that were not enough we just *have* to add some "my country is better than yours!" messages (although I consider Mike's response more than appropriate rebuttal to the embarrassing junk put out by my fellow American). Needless to say, I suspect that the discussions that occasionally pop up in various places about the drain on system resources, and whether it's worth it or not, involved in carrying on this network. Can we please stop this junk for at least a little bit and save ourselves some resources, aggravation, etc.? While I'm in one of these moods: The rest of the world has as much right to complain about America as we do to complain about the rest of the world - every right! The person who posted here and said we should also complain about problems internal to wherever we are too was so right. But past that how 'bout suggesting some things to *do* about the things you bitch about? Suggest something, tell us something you tried and whether it worked or not, or SOMETHING! But don't just bitch....... Sorry, I get carried away sometimes, but I still think what I just said. -------------------------- David Buechner UUCP : ...!{akgua,allegra,emory,rlgvax,sb1,ut-ngp,ut-sally}!gatech!djb ARPA : djb.gatech@CSNet-Relay CSNET : djb@gatech BITNET: sys1db@gitvm3 Federal snail : Ga.
