I'm curious why someone from a west coast private university would be
interested in influencing somebody from a Mellon-funded organization
meddling in the direction the BPL takes with its staff-wide web
development.

And let's face it, Stanford will just hire the person away in 3 or 4
months anyway, so BPL might as well not even bother.

YOU WILL ALL BE HIRED AWAY BY STANFORD IN THREE OR FOUR MONTHS,
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
