As soon as I read the letter I grabbed (poison) pen and paper. But alas, the letter was too foolish to be worthy of a substantial reply. It's alot easier to compose net mail, so here is my response: "There are enough problems in the field already, we'd be alot better off if computer scientists didn't waste their colleagues' time with nonsene." Silence is so golden, some would be better off if they shut up and got rich!! Scott Baden P.S. Replies?
