Interesting point: there is running, on a bunch of local radio stations in the
NJ area, an ad for a local diploma mill that promises to teach you how to be
a 'respected internet consultant' dealing with such weighty things as "web
servers, email, and firewalls". Included, from what I could glean in between
stifled laughter, is an introduction to how to subscribe to internet mailing
lists that keep you up to date on security, firewall, and business advertising
issues.
Totally NT, I know. But, the barbarians are at the gates in more ways than
one.
