  1. Extremely OT, but am desperate. Please forgive. Have been trying to find someone for several years
    and don't know where else to try. Internet e-mail address searches have yielded 100's of dead ends.

    Seeking Pete Jones, originally from Albany, NY, USA. Mid-forties. About 5 feet 8-10 inches tall.
    Reddish hair (at least it was 8 years ago). Last known (several years ago) whereabouts rumored to
    have been Kentucky. Last known employment was in D/P. Original D/P employment at GE in Schenectady,
    NY. Started out with CoBOL, but has undoubtedly moved on to something else. Workaholic (at least he
    was 20 years ago). Lifted weights (at least he did 20 years ago). Graduated military-style HS
    mid-seventies.

    EXTREMELY smart. Wouldn't be surprised to be found running own consulting/software development
    company or very high up in management or technical position.

    Please help, folks. Sound like anybody you know? It's very important to me personally to get back in
    touch. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Never, ever, do this again. *

    Sorry, Pete's not here.

    We've got a spare Dave we could let you have, though.

    Must be talking about some other Pete Jones, I guess.

    Let's see... if *everyone* who is trying to find a person mass-posted such messages to all sorts of
    newsgroups... well, if you don't have the brainpower to figure out the problem then spelling it out
    probably won't help any either. ;-)

    No, he'll report you to your ISP for newsgroup spamming; and judging by your nasty attitude, that
    should have been done the first time you did this.

    How amusing. Is the State of Georgia allowing use of their computer resources for personal use? Or
    were you performing official business for the State under an alias?

    No, but someone else might be nasty enough and drop a line to The State of Georgia, Department of
    Administrative Services.

    Good. Now you can tell him about your genital herpes.

    You know it's the right thing to do.
