I'd like to thank the person (A__Hole again probably) who was kind enough to 
bring the AVL month-end report to my office this morning as a shredded mess.
Had they left it alone in the printer room then perhaps I could have saved it,
but now I've no choice except to start it all over again.  So those of you
wishing to use TTQ1 this morning had better look first before queing your job
up...it might be awhile.  Oh and by-the-way A__Hole, perhaps someday I can
arrange for your job to be just a little bit harder, and maybe you'll find
something wet and nasty in your printouts. 

I'm frankly disturbed by several messages that have occurred lately.
I'm referring to mail messages that condemn the actions of others, in front
of fellow workers, in an unprofessional manner.  I believe that JUNK EMAIL
is a priviledged forum where we can speak our mind on personal views regarding
any subject.  Not a place to ridicule others.

If you have a different view, I'd like to hear it, but please send it to
@SYS$MAIL:JUNK for all to read.

	My apologies to the world at large, I am the culprit who got Jeff so
pissed off.  Now you've been forced to witness the text of my public flogging,
so my crime is multiplied several times.  I am shamed, humiliated.

	To resolve my problems, and now yours, I've admitted my guilt
personally to Jeff, and endured his righteous wrath.  To redress my
transgressions on the junk mail circuit, I publicly and humbly (I'm
typing on bended knee) beg your indulgence and forgiveness for this
seemingly endless parade of scandalous missives.  In the infamous words
of Agent 86, "Sorry about that, chiefy".

	By the way, Jeff & I kissed and made up.

	How come everybody accuses & complains on junk mail, but I'm the first
admission of guilt?

	Reading junk mail is even better than watching a soap opera, huh?

	And with that thought, I close (How come my knee hurts?   Oh, yeah).

	I agree with you . Junk mail is indeed a sacred forum that 
we should all respect. Use it but don't abuse it. I can appreciate those 
times when we get so steamed and find this forum as a healthy outlet for 
our anger. But we can air our frustrations more maturely. 
	I happened to see the mess in the printer room yesterday before
Steve cleaned it up. While Jeff would have been happier to find his
print out spread all over the printer room, others had to suffer.
	Harsh words are powerful tools when used sparingly ,but redundant
when abused. Lets not loose control and call people ___ ____ ... aimlessly.

	Rather than continue the developing tradition of flame-fests
on JUNK, I'd like to return to the origianl purpose of sharing possibly
useful information (sorry if this offends some of you). To wit, the
following quote form "The Psychology of Computer Programming",
by Gerald Weinberg. Discussing the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Pesonality
Inventory) as a tool for selecting from among job applicants, Weinberg
notes that the MMPI was derived from a study of institutionalized psychotics,
and continues:

	"Naturally, we feel that mentally ill people are not what we are
	 looking for when we hire programmers -- although there are no
	 empirical data to support or contradict that view"

				Well, _I_ found it interesting...
