here were a few suggestions on how to delete these nodes.  they are
helpful.  however, what i really need is a way to select these
pseudo-nodes, without selecting my real world intersections, so, that i
do not have to do it manually.  i have used arcedit but, since i have
many of these nodes this task is getting tedious...so, any suggestions
on how to make this process faster would be appreciated.
please respond to mlown@email.unc.edu
thanks

In Arc/Info (Arcedit) there is an UNSPLIT command that does this:

 e.g.,

 Arcedit:  select all
     A gazillion arcs selected.

 Arcedit: unsplit NONE

 would remove all those pseudonodes.
 However, this would cause a loss of arc attribute data.  You can also
use an item value, e.g., the street name:

 Arcedit: unsplit fname
 keeps the fname item, although if you envision the table as a
collection of items in a left-to-right normalization, items to the
 right (in this case) of "fname" are lost.
