-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- // You cannot make money one the net, net reputations // do not count in jobs, academic or otherwise. I disagree here -- I've gotten a couple of jobs where my net reputation preceded me and was the primary motivator for my getting an interview. I was also told at one of them to continue posting as I did because they felt that their reputation was enhanced by mine. And "cannot make money on the net"? How do you see this? Much as I hate the metaphor, I don't make money on the local highways either, but they're a part of real life. I use them to do other things to make money. Neither are an integral part of the work that I do, but both make it possible for me to do the work in a fashion that I can handle (I refuse to live in my office ever again). Just because the reputations aren't digital yet, nor is the cash, doesn't mean that the Net isn't real life. It's as real as nearby I-94. And a lot more interesting and complex. -- - david d `zoo' zuhn -| armadillo zoo software -- St. Paul, Minnesota -- zoo@armadillo.com --| unix generalist (and occasional specialist) ------------------------+ send e-mail for more information pgp key upon request +---------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.1 iQCVAwUBLttyl+80ah2ymxnRAQFP3AP/VOcxV7y9EE5a8humdh51i4qMd/f/bEHS Z5lvKJS7chVTTIwBTzBui/+3JIM8WmlSveiKBYVbGAuojQS3tC0g7phqVMKHPDCC vy2+/DzIbIILUvI/AQoSJm06Frfzgh1uYTiisr47Dznx2bLHlpLgep6xwwXkvCAM vKP1r0l7l+s= =oxCh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
