- Following the thread initiated by Geoffrey Wright
- <jwright@MINERVA.CIS.YALE.EDU>, something becomes increasingly clear:
- there are apparently remarkable numbers of people out there in the GIS
- world with FAR too much time on their hands!! Have you people nothing
- better to do than to pontificate about the political correctness of
- Mr. Wright's choice of language!?! You certainly must have more
- generous funding sponsors that I do!
-
- I find it difficult to believe that there is ANYONE who didn't know,
- upon reading the initial inquiry, precisely what Mr. Wright was
- seeking.
