Good grief, Pot! Could it be that you have cross-posted to the entire
comp.* hierarchy and Barry didn't notice and trim the Newsgroups
accordingly? Note that I'm only posting to cll.

Perhaps only you were specifically forbidden to do that. If your real
life persona is anything like your usenet persona I would fully expect
people to actively avoid interacting with you whenever possible. I'm
only posting to let you know that this may be the case so that you can
practice a little introspection on yourself to see how you might
irritate people to the point of wishing that the bus you ride to the
library gets T-boned by a speeding train even if all the other
passengers are members of a kindergarten class on a field trip.

Your posts have devolved into rummaging around usenet harassing people
who don't want anything social or professional to do with you,
repeatedly begging them to help you get a job. To top that all off,
when people are kind enough to not only read your long-winded posts
but also respond with useful advice, you go into some long tirade on
why you can't do this that and the other. You desperately need to
beaten about the head and neck with a L.A.R.T.

Good luck with that. Now that you have a dedicated group expressly
on the topic of getting Robert Maas a job you don't need to post any
employment related ravings to usenet again.
