Dear Single-Malt,

Congratulations on selecting a very professional internet address name for
yourself.  Is it in "compliance with Web standards?"  I'm sure it is, being as
how you are the expert and everything.  I was very happy to read your message to
Mr. Mcgee... Boy, is it ever refreshing to have a tried and true internet and
world wide web "netiquette" expert (is that how you spell it?)!  Your AOL
buddies must be very proud of you!!

I've only been a web site developer and systems specialist here at Rockwell for
a couple of years now so I'm not sure if I'm a "newbie" or not, but I had an
idea.  Since you recently reminded me that the internet is definitely NOT "a
public forum open to all who care to enter" and since we should be a "self-
regulating discussion group" why don't you be our "regulator in residence."  I
will ask the net if they wouldn't mind sending you a copy of their question
FIRST, then you can decide if its worthy of a post or if the person who sent it
deserves a swift kick in the pants.  You could even send them the address for
the archives, and instruct them sternly on how to behave.  Just an idea, but I
thought it was a good one, again, YOU are the expert here.

Goodness, I had always thought that private net-sites or ftp servers were kept
away from the public eye with routers, firewalls, and corporate security
measures.  Thank you so much for reminding me that any server I happen to surf
into is not for public forum and that I should prepare to be regulated.

Do you happen to work for the government?  Please send me your home address,
I'll send you a buck or two to help you get elected to whatever government
office you'll be running for!  Fight, Fight, Fight!!
