Hey, Hey, Hey, everybody!

Dr. Powell was responding to a thread found in the archives here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg23073.html

which may not have been meant as particularly nasty, but certainly came
across that way to me. In short, he took it personally and got mad. That
just proves that he's human. Realize that it can be quite difficult in the
hard sciences to get a PhD, and many people who have achieved that goal
are proud of it, and in the physical sciences signing you mail as Dr. So
And So, PhD is not uncommon.

Twit filtering Dr. Powell would seem overkill at this point. I have had to
twit several people on this list, however, and I must say after several
years on various Linux/Unix mailing lists/newsgroups, this group has
gotten nastier than the norm several times lately. Maybe we need a good
emacs vs. vi thread to get it out of our systems <grin>.

(Disclaimer: after 13 years as a analytical/physical biochemist, I think
unix system adminstration is much easier! It pays better too! )
