- Tupperware? Huang sells them but shareware versions are available.
-
- The annoying thing in Huang is that he post his articles to every
- possible newsgroup, even the original request appears in one or
- two groups. And to groups which are not appropriate for such
- postings (e.g. posting on symbolic calculator in sci.math
- even the original article appeared only in sci.math.symbolic).
-
- Such posting methods makes his articles as advertisements.
-
- It is understood that such posting methods are not appreciated
- by articles posted in news.announce.newusers.
-
- Readers (yes, including me) has written about it to him
- privately and in newsgroups, but still we can see such postings.
-
- Ignoring the common rules and the recommends of fellow netters
- is rather strange, specially because Huang is Dr. person.
- Would you like to work with such personality?
- Or have such personality as your thesis supervisor?
