- Hugh Moore's posting is an example of the sort uncalled for rudeness that
- gives the net a bad smell. If he does not like the posting, don't read it.
- As a matter of fact if he had taken the trouble to unpack the oberon files,
- he would of found that in addition the the oberon compiler it contains a
- number of source code files (an example plus the librarys).
-
- Just because you are not face to face with someone you are not free from the
- usual modes of civil and polite behaviour.
-
- A more reasonable complaint with the oberon posting is that it needed an
- introduction so people would have a sense of what was within. But that happens
- all the time in this and other news groups.
-
- One thing is sure I will ignore any posting by Hugh Moore in the future.
