Little Jimmy's ignorance is legendary. He's a ****wit of Aiken's

Glad to have helped. What Little Jimmy fails to realize, since he's also
"self-employed" is that there are lurkers out there that don't post --
ever -- but sponge off 'groups. These, if you are given to mild anxiety,
are the ones you have to worry about because they hire and fire in the
Corporate World. SWMBO sat in (briefly) on one hiring committee's
decision that used an applicant's Usenet history to decide her value-add
to their group. It's not just stalkers that people are worried about.
