I got his plea for help in my mail box, I dont know why me. 
From the header I notice that he sent it to a large mailing list. 
I also see from the header that most user ids start with the letters "ba", 
so he probably got my e-mail address from some directory 
(Possibly from SIAM or AMS membership list). 
The header also include the line

X-Vms-To: @B.LST

so there might have been A.LST, C.LST etc. for people whose name begin
with a different letter in the alphabet. I decided to send it to
s.r.c. becasue I thought it might be helpful for people who are 
eagerly looking for a tenure-track position to see how the "Real
World" looks, and that it is not a paradise at all. Later on I sent
it also science.research.

It is not the first time that I get such a plea for help in e.-mail.
See my other posting regrarding jobs in small universities.


Here is again the file header and the beginning of the file itself, if you
are curious.

Dear Colleague:

Since Rector Kenniff prefers to cover up fraud at Concordia, I have no choice 
but to make the relevant information as public as possible. I have 
distributed two Memos, the first one is attached below, the second one is sent 
separately. 

I can not reach everyone, so I would be grateful if you could print it and show
to all your friends. On the other hand, if you do not like what I have written,
you do not have to read it. 

Thank you.               Yours Sincerely, V.I. Fabrikant
                         Mechanical Engineering, Concordia University
