Well, it's nice to hear from someone who has such a marvellous grasp of the
tools he is using! I am a computer programmer, although I have not yet
been employed to maintain the internet-thingie to which you refer...
Maybe one day I will be so fortunate, unworthy though I am...

Who the heck are you to suggest that people of any background should not
read these newsgroups? Am I posting to sci.professional_scientists_only?
I understood that the Internet was available to all, is that not the case?
Perhaps I am making a terrible faux-pas here... Is it maybe that your
taxes go to support all the equipment which comprises the net?

Do me (and the rest of us) a favour, will you, and get down off your
pompous high horse!

Phil.
