As proponent of sci.bio.botany, I have sent a copy of the article and
a complaint to manus' postmaster.

If you feel really incensed, you might want to send e-mail to manus
and/or [email-masked], but please don't abuse the postmaster
or this newsgroup, folks!  We should be able to "burn in" this group
just the way we want it to be in a few weeks.  Now would be a good time
to think about what sorts of things you'd like to see discussed here,
and to make an effort to get such discussions started.

required.  Postdoctoral experience is desirable.  One position may 
be filled at the Associate Professor level with an individual who 
has demonstrated appropriate professional accomplishments.  
Applicants should send curriculum vitae, transcripts, sample 
publications, any other evidence of professional accomplishments 
considered relevant and the names/addresses/phone numbers of at 
least three professional references to Dr. David A. Smith,

Why do you have to be such a prejudiced bastard?

What about white men? Are you going to turn them down because you want
a cunt?

Take your affirmative action and stick it up your motherfucking ass!
