First of all, *I* didn't bring the matter up; it was brought up apparently indignantly by rdib@jomby.cs.wisc.edu (Richard Dib) in a posting imputing some unfulfilled claim to legitimacy/credibility/ factual basis somehow connected with a book title. Secondly, I apologize to the net for your lack of a sense of humor. :-) > > >Disclaimer: I speak only for myself, on my understanding of netetiquette > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Jeff Kight jkight@umd5.umd.edu >Information Services jkight@umdd.bitnet >Computer Science Center uunet!umd5.umd.edu!jkight >University of Maryland (301) 405-3014 Scott Bennett, Comm.

Just to be clear, I saw this: >##In article <1374@autodesk.COM# glang@Autodesk.COM (Gary Lang) writes: >####The NeXT Bible is a well-written book of science fiction. Although I assume most people can count, the cutting and pasting of my posting was so sloppy that it appears _I_ said this about the NeXT Bible book. So to repeat: I think it's a really good book with the exception of the listing of the files which was a waste of paper. Buy it today. - g -- Gary T. Lang (415)332-2344 x2702 Autodesk, Inc.
