A few months ago a fellow at a large corporation here in NJ called Bellcore
sent what today would be called a "racially insensitive" e-mail to a
co-worker [used to be called colleague].  Somehow it went to the whole
company, department, building [forgot which] and by the next
day...........his a-- was grass!  I don't know what it was he wrote, but
how'd you like to explain THAT at your next interview???   This is a
dangerous medium !
