	   Code exchange?   How about people drop their silly

Jesus, now just what is THAT supposed to mean?  You imply that the
Jolitzes are somehow so godlike that their code doesn't stink?  I'm
here to tell you that if 0.1 was any indication then it DOES, and I
have no reason to believe that Bill suddenly grew a massive dick and
is no longer capable of generating anything but the most perfect act
of creation imaginable.  Get off the high horse - you look damned
silly up there (that Napoleon outfit you're wearing doesn't really
help, either).

	   The Jolitzes have accounts on many networks.
	   The fact that many "netters" perfer to be thought
	   of as *THE* experts have driven them to a much
	   more conducive atmosphere.

That's Ok.  They were driving a lot of us crazy, too! I think that it
does little good to rehash that whole sorry period in our history -
better to say that both sides behaved very poorly and leave it at
that, since any insinuation that either side wore a white hat merits
little more than an incredulous chuckle.

	   even know what the "NET" is about.  Take for instance
	   the lawyer that posted an article advertising his
	   service in immigration.  His account was terminated in
	   about a day.  I'll let you speculate on the obvious.

Yes, let's take that example - he's now back in strength, a whole
pocketfull of cash from those immigration ads (if you can believe his
press copy, and I don't suppose it ever pays to underestimate the
gullibility of the average netter so I see no reason to really
_disbelieve_ it on that score) and with full NYT coverage of his
business as well!  Ummm.  What was this analogy exactly trying to
prove again? :-)

	   AHH... am easy question... While much of the *NIX world
	   has been napping,  the MS-DOS counter parts have move to
	   an ASPI standard.   The standard was started by Adaptec
	   and other SCSI card makers.    Bus mastering SCSI
	   controller cards that are ASPI compliant cards should
	   work.

Easy question, stupid answer.  Go read the ASPI spec again, find out
what it's really for, see that it really doesn't help you boot off a
CD (or use it from UNIX) in any kind of generic way since it's a
software API and all the drivers are written for DOS, etc etc.

And on top of that, you appended your signature twice - sort of the
net equivalent of leaving the toilet with the toilet paper roll
trailing behind you..  Nice post, Jesus!  :-)
