(i apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message—luckily it has no attachments. since enannounce only reaches faculty/staff members and graduate students, i have to rely on ess and csunion to pass on the massage, as well as a few unpublished mailing lists on the bcc list, so some of you might be cross-listed for multiple copies)

(ironically, thanks to computer networks, spammers nowadays can crawl our websites and send every one of us an email asking for netlink username and password—of course you shouldn’t reply, but we still do not have an effective way to reach all our students. if you have ways to counter that, you should show off your idea and prototype on bcnet competition as well!)
