Organization: Mankato State University

I know this sounds a bit odd, but I am trying to collect samples of mud from
pig wallows or even better, from small farm ponds where cows drink.  I am 
involved in a project to isolate a certain type of algae and this is the 
type of place you find the cells in question.  

If you are willing to help out, all I need is a small scoop of mud from the 
shoreline of the wallow or pond.  Use an old yogourt container or cup and let
it dryout on the counter or windowsill.  When the mud is dry, crumble it into
bits and put these in a plastic baggie and mail it to me.  I don't need a huge
amount of dried mud, just a few tablespoons full will do.  

Thanks... I look forward to your mud-filled letters.  Oh, if you could indicate
approximately where you collected your mud I'd appreciate it.

Subject: WANTED: TI-74 BASICALC CASSETTE RECODER CABLE
Date: 22 Jul 92 20:02:00 GMT

I want a TI-74 BASICALC CASSETTE RECODER CABLE.
TI-74 is hand programable calculator which use BASIC.

I have a thermal printer for it and now am looking
for a cable so that I can store the program I write.
 Texas instrument sells it for $30.00. This TI-74 model
was discontinued but they did not reduce the price of
the asscessries still. 
I bought the thermal printer for only $14.00 from the
SERVICE MECHANDISE and I believe if a local store sells the
accessories for TI 74 still, the price will be much much lower
then TI offers nowadays.

  So I will pay $15.00+$2.00 shipping for the recoder cable
designed for TI-74 BASICALC, if somebody want to sell it.

I'm looking for a used Olympus XA or XA4 camera.  The XA series is the

the lens/viewfinder.  It would be a real plus if somebody had one with the 
removable flash unit.

If you have one collecting dust and would like to get some reasonable $$ for

I'd agree that the newsgroups line on the original posting was a
little excessive, but in all seriousness, I'd kinda like to get hold
of one of those babies myself, providing there's a way to get actual
composite video out of them.  I think they'd make a sorta neat

Wake up!  From the interviewee's point of view, the reason would basically be
whatever reason they give.  If the interviewer doesn't ask, they'll never
know.  Don't make any assumptions based on the reason you do or do not wear
a suit; some of us have given the matter a great deal of thought before coming
to a conclusion.

What a person wears to the interview is not an indication of what you should
expect them to wear on the job.  If their attire at the interview is not what
you want them to wear on the job, why not tell them what you want and ask if
they can deliver?

Yeah, nothing like a year's unemployment to expand one's wardrobe.  The fact
that they do not own a tie says nothing about their sales ability.

This might be true if indeed he did advertise where I had not,

This is not a service, but in direct competition with my

if you are hiring and don't appreciate this sort of netabuse,
don't do business with this company.  Kenneth, you are more than
welcome to do business with some headhunter who advertises
