The message
from Rusty Hinge contains these words:

The message
from "BAC" contains these words:


Most people are ignorant of the existence of news groups.


How do you know that?


I met a lecturer in IT at a large college who, when I gave him the name
of a newsgroup asked: "Do you put www before that?"


With such specialised ignorance, it's hardly surprising that many people
never even hear about the existence of newsgroups.


You think that's bad? I gave some broad and runner beans to a senior
IT lecturer at Glasgow's major teacher training college.

Her 8 yr old picked up a broad bean pod, bit it and spat it out, and
said "Yuck mum, what is that horrid thing?"

She replied "I've no idea, darling, you'll have to ask Janet.

She didn't recognise the runner beans either, having only ever seen
them sliced and frozen.

Janet.
