- I told you we need FAQ for this newsgroup -:)

- Fabrikant seems to have sent his documents to a big list of people
- of whom he had e-mail addresses of. It seems likely that he took his
- list from the joint membership records of the AMS (American Mathematical
- Society) and SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics).
- I did not know who is Fabrikant until this incidence, but he probably
- thought that people on the above societies would have some professional
- understanding of his scientific contributions.
-
- I chose to post his mail on sci.research.career because I thought it was
- relevant to the readership of that group. Slightly after the postings
- have started I posted also to sci.research.
