- But if it barks it may be a dog, coyote, wolf, etc. The releases that
- Toby is writing are for informative purposes (as he says at the beginning
- of each); i, as a computer consultant, have a need to know these things,
- and you, as an aggravated reader, have an 'N' key that will shut them out
- from your attebntion forever.
- I understand (and used to agree with) your stand on this sort of thing.
- But I do have to agree that press releases of the kind that Toby is sending
- are useful to people like me and others. Please feel free to use your 'N'
- key liberally, and please let people like me (who really need the information)
- have the messages put through.
