At this time, I'd like to dredge up a quote from Gene Spafford, a 
professor/computer security guru at Purdue University...

"Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea--massive, 
difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of 
mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it."

Replace Usenet with Internet, and it's quite appropriate, given the amount 
of pure drivel circulating the net.....

Changing the subject briefly----
They're offering PHYS321 Signal Processing next semester... should I take it???

It's the same professor I have right now for Electromagnetics (Professor 
Dan Fleisch of 'Electromagnetics' 5th edition, Kraus/Fleisch).   I'm just 
trying to assemble a preliminary schedule before registering for classes in 
two weeks.
