I am surprised to find that some people are very sentitive to some
personal opinions. Althought I definitely agree on the judgement on Harry
Wu(Trash of China, Treasure of America)(He also gave a speech on Nov.5
in Cornell University), I also agree to put this kind of opinion in
Bulletin Board instead of the mailing list since someone would not agree
on this opinion and the mailing list should make everyone happy instead
of making someone angry. But I do not understand why the "Job listing"
could not be on this mailing list. This mailing list should
help us to know the current status of USTC(Newsletter), discuss the way to
help USTC. And USTCers in USA as a group should help each other and the
helping should include providing some information for finding a job.
Good luck! everyone.
