Subject: Re: appropriate use of CPM and MICRO lists.

Herb,
       I suspect your adversary has a brain-damaged mail reader.
At BRL, if I choose not to read mail from you, I simply type
'delete from Herb Lin' and all your messages go away.

       What about appropriate use of CPM and MICRO lists?  These are
common user resources; the users determine what's appropriate.  If you
think that you have legitimate questions, then it is your right to
post them to the net.

       I, too, am a little disappointed by the condition of summaries
posted to the net.  I suppose that most people read rather than write.
Again, that's not any individual's fault, but the fault of all of us,
collectively, for failing to help out our fellow person.

               Byrne's attack on you actually embarrassed me.  I suppose anyone
can get to a point of frustration.  For that, I forgive him and apologize
to you.  

       Keep up your questions; many of the rest of us need the
answers as well.

Brint
