What kind of job exposes you to termination because of a silly
flame-war on
usenet?

Most of them if your posting from work.



See my other post regarding "University" jobs...


I doubt they're any different.




You should check it out - Don't just take my word for it.
Every university system that I've heard about, either through a friend who
attended or through one of the projects I've worked on, is *very* liberal
with connections to the commodity internet. The only restrictions I've
seen is to manage bandwidth to certain nodes. I have yet to see or hear of
*any* censorship or similar usage restrictions on any *statutorily legal*
content.

If MWB suffered *any* sanction via his University employer, it's a fairly
safe bet it wasn't due to his on-line activites, unless they were patently
illegal (ie kiddie-porn). I doubt very seriously he was involved with that
type of activity.

I actually don't think *anything* has happened to him as he has been so
prone to deception, diversion and misleading tactics in the past that I
have no rational reason to believe that he's not playing each and every
one of you for a fool now.

If you want to buy into his load of tripe, by all means go ahead - I have
no problem with it. What I *do* have a problem with is when you cop an
attitude when I horse-laugh you for falling for it.

I know this is just usenet, but "get real"...

I just called the Louisville Tech 800 number and the woman I spoke to told me
he was still employed there.

She then directed me to his voice mail (I did not leave a message).

Just another darn interesting day!
