This is why all Dr.Internet messages go into my trash bin via e-mail
filtering in Netscape Messenger. I would think a socail scientist could
understand numbering schemes. Us hard science types certainly can
understand the social sciences (sarcasm intended). There is just enough
truth or hint of truth in the Dr. Internet postings to make them dangerous
to computer and internet literacy. Wish he would quote his sources.
