Subject: Is that a resume in your message or are you just glad to see From: ddern@world.std.com (Daniel P Dern) Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 20:59:15 -0400

Setting aside personalities, disingenuities and other matters, the
"Case of the Attached Resume" raises two pieces of a non-trivial
concern; indeed, one worthy of the RISKS digest (a.k.a. comp.risks),
IMHO (In My Humble Opinion):

1. It's becoming increasingly easy to reply to the group instead of
   the individual. 

2. It's becoming increasingly easy for things to tack themselves onto
   your messages (not mine, as long as I keep using old Unix 'mail' :-),
   whether it's a WINMAIL.DAT file, or the original message requoted,
   or whatever.

We all make mistakes at times.  However, we also tend to remember
our own and other people's mistakes... and those archives are
damnedly unsympathetic to search-blocks.

That which we post in fora like this are, aside from 
advertising-by-existance and also (one would hope) the
content itself, a demonstration of our professional/technical
skills.

As seen by a jury of our peers.
