Lady Antonia Fraser, biographer of Oliver Cromwell: "If I were alive, I would detest it because I don't like living biographies which are either muckraking or hagiographical. If I were dead, I still wouldn't want it... I wouldn't want the whole truth about me told. I don't feel I'm so perfect that I would like it recorded...
...mail addresses." Quittner didn't mention what Hirsch leaves behind while building his business--the problem of unsolicited commercial e-mail, most commonly known as spam. Right now I have more than 1,000 spam messages in my e-mail In-box folder. Those of us who detest spam support the right of porn websites to exist.

Sendmail Inc., makers of the most popular E-mail-routing software, says its new version has a built-in antispam tool kit that includes a virtually spamproof address verifier...
...Simpson trial, the nanny trial or the birth of septuplets in Iowa seem entirely out of proportion to their actual significance. I believe there is a special circle in hell reserved for any television network that ever opened a broadcast with a story about Tonya Harding. And I detest local news stations that never once offer a decent, thoughtful story about education, but are always on the scene the moment someone falls down a manhole or gets an ear bitten...
