Well, Joe, this was better written that your other stories. I have one
question about it, though, that relates to *your* ability to get to
the facts of the story without picking your sources to sensationalize
what you want:
You wrote:
We've had a lot of problems here at Texas A&M with people
printing out fairly obscene (picture) files. And we've had people
printing really adult-oriented stories,'' said Richard Lee
Holbert, a computer educator in College Station. Can we stop that
or not stop that?'+i''
Well, *who* is RL Holbert? My campus phone book lists him as a
computer operator in one of the computer centers on campus. Certainly he
is not faculty here (I question your portrayal of him as a computer
educator). Could you not get someone else to quote on obscene materials?
I think it deserves an explanation.
Cheers,
