It certainly could be a classic. I suspect people would buy it to.
Or, maybe that should be:

A question to all native speakers,
is there a big difference (semantically, that word is 4 U Devin :))
between thread & threat, sounds all alike to me

I hope you meant to be humorous with that, because … well, it’s
hilarious.
A ‘thread’ is a piece of string OR a conversation between multiple
people on a forum or list.
A ‘threat’ is when someone tells someone else they are going to hurt
them.
Now, it’s humorous because quite often in heated discussions… The
majority of the thread is threats 
No offense intended if you didn’t mean to be funny… But it was.

I think you’ll find any sane court rule that the expectation of
privacy goes out the window when publishing a post knowingly to a
public mailing list. That said, IANAL.

As a matter of fact, most employers are what is known as “employers at
will”, which means they can fire you at any time and they don’t have to
tell you or anyone else why. So while the person who posted this might
not have an expectation of privacy, his employer certainly does.

Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.I am on a bad trip man, and I promised to pipe down, but who can resist to
acclamation, it is much more funny than you might think for us Austrians
we
really can hardly distinguish between b/p d/t g/k, so it is almost
the
same for us.
Of course I was kidding, I always am…

if I might add, that is not true on this side of the lake, no I do not
mean
Canada ;),
although legislation is adapting a lot to the U.S. way of things right
now
an employer has to give a reason for laying people off.
The simple fact of using the companies e-mail account for posting might
be
enough though.
I am not a lawyer so I have to guess, maybe at first an advertissement
has
to be given, I am talking about French law, but they tend to be somehow
similar in the whole E.U., (more liberal in the U.K. I guess) as there
are
some common rules imposed by Brussels.

Hi all,
I’m curious how many people out there have had a Ruby book proposal
rejected by O’Reilly & Associates in the last three years, what your
subject was, when you proposed it, and the person whom you dealt with
(i.e. who specifically rejected your proposal).
Are you gonna write “Mastering O’Reilly Book Rejections”? Or
“Head-first Becoming an Unemployed Book Author”? 
Then, I’d be curious about the number of Ruby book proposals to
publishers myself…
