want ads etc

``` You may recall my message from a couple weeks ago soliciting "want ads" from RRE readers. I received seventy-odd messages totalling about 62K bytes. That's a bit too much to send to everyone directly, but the whole set is available from the archive by sending a message that looks like:

To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: archive send want-ads

The ads are very interesting -- a diverse group of excellent people who want a whole wide range of things. I hope you'll send away for a copy of the messages, scan through them, and see who you can help out. It's a great way to be useful to other people, as well as a way to make a connection with someone who probably shares some of your interests.

Would someone be willing to make an index of the ads? I'm imagining two-line entries that look like this (taken from the first five want ads that I received):

Sam Sternberg pointers to progressive magazines on the net for a guide Jochen Musch advice on hardware for making video movies on a PC Marshall S. Dubin electronic resources of information on organized crime Nick Kushmerick marketing studies for Internet-based sales of fashion and furnishings Forrest Richey online source of material data safety sheets

I'd be thrilled to send such an index to the whole list for easy scanning. Maybe you can come up with an easier-to-scan-but-still-compact format for the index.

I did omit some of the "want ads" I received from the collection in the archive. None of them were wildly offensive. In screening the messages, I applied the same criterion that I apply to the messages I send to RRE: I asked my guts, and if my guts were uncomfortable then I deleted the message and went on. Who knows why my guts render the opinions they do. I hope nobody will get too insulted.

Here are some RRE administrative notes -- mostly reminders.

(1) Please keep in mind that I do not necessarily endorse the materials that I send to RRE. I have a wide variety of reasons for regarding things as interesting enough to send to the list. Usually I don't explain my reasons because it's too much trouble and I try to run the list on an absolute minimum of minutes per week.

(2) EUDORA USERS: Please do not use the "redirect" command to pass RRE messages along to other people or mailing lists. This causes all kinds of confusion and nasty e-mail messages in my mailbox (e.g., "Who the %$^@%& are you and why are you posting messages to the BLORG-L listserv?")

(3) To end your subscription to RRE, send a message like so:

To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: unsubscribe

(4) We probably will have an April 1995 issue of The Network Observer. But I'm not sure when.
