Hey, Sean, can you be my Senior Network Engineer, too? Duties include sleeping up to 8 hours every night and drinking (1) free beer should we happen to end up at the same bar some evening at a conference. But it'd look so great on my letterhead ... -- John R. Levine, IECC, POB 640 Trumansburg NY 14886 +1 607 387 6869 johnl@iecc.com, http://iecc.com/johnl, "New witty saying coming soon."

I think that 8 hrs of sleep part might be difficult. :) -dorian
He did say, "up to" 8 hrs. Come on. Who has really slept like that outside of Kindergarten? -Deepak. On Wed, 2 Apr 1997, Dorian R. Kim wrote:

Well... I sleep from about 2 AM -> 10 AM :) I guess I never outgrew the luxury of sleeping for 8 hours. Anyway, why doesn't someone just mail the editor of Boardwatch [a nice guy I might add], and correct all the mistakes that are in it. Boardwatch is just starting to become an Internet oriented magazine, they are bound to make mistakes. Even include a few URL's of pointers which would be beneficial. Remember, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. [now that was corny wasn't it?] Jordan -- Jordan Mendelson : www.wserv.com/~jordy Web Services, Inc. : www.wserv.com

In general, I found this issue at least (I can't speak for other issues) to be one of the most grossly inaccurate pieces of "journalism" I've ever seen ;) Then again, coming from the same people who told one letter writer to "Go to the InterNIC" for the 8 IP addresses he wanted....
