What does "those of use" imply????

Somehow, uncensored discussions aren't quite isomorphic to "self-centered 
attitude about your illegal habits".

Hearing sheep like Wexelblat babble makes me so happy to have left
AT&T a few months back.  Tell me David, do AT&T managers still come
around and solicit required payroll deductions for the AT&T Political
Action Committee?  I'll bet you contribute happily with a grin on your
face and wear marks on your knees.  You'd fit in well with 59211 in Red
Hill.

I was in Burns' department when AT&T Security sent in the dear undercover 
police plant as a "secretary" to rid Bell Labs' "sacred" halls of the 
"drug problem".  I saw three valuable members of the department get
suspended in the sleaziest possible illegal sting operation and I read 
the misinformation that Monmouth County police orgs and AT&T PR blasted
all over the local papers.  The police spy was ugly, leather mini-skirt,
plastic makeup and all; I almost vomited when she offered "some fun" in 
return for a chem purchase.  She wasn't even a cop, but had participated
to get a reduced fine for cocaine possession.  I watched increduluously
as my managers instructed me "never talk about the incident or Else" and I 
walked shortly thereafter.  Right, talking about drugs is taboo at AT&T, 
I should have remembered.

I also witnessed my hardworking roommate get laid off from AT&T in Red Hill 
only to be replaced the next week by a cute blond who knew nothing about 
Unix systems administration but got along *real well* with her manager.  
Funny thing that AT&T was the first big company to get sued for EEO violations
and the only "computer company" to have frequent union troubles.  They don't 
seem to care much about people, rather they emphasize perceptions.  Funny, 
but emphasizing altered perceptions over realism falls into the general 
category of hallucination.

Somehow, I DON'T find discussion of AT&T's notion of computer systems,
policy, ethics, etc. and alt.drugs all that incongruous...  It fries my
blood, however to see some jerk post over here in alt.drugs telling 
people who share an interest in thinking for themselves, what to do.

These are my own opinions, talk about them with me, not my boss,
who, by the way, probably agrees and would tell any complainers
to go to hell anyway.
