From: utzoo!decvax!yale-com!bj Newsgroups: net.poems Title: Re: Pork and Pepper Article-I.D.: yale-com.798 Posted: Fri Aug 13 00:05:37 1982 Received: Sun Aug 15 03:47:54 1982 References: watmath.3276 I know this message should go to the author of the article, not to the net, but for some reason I don't expect mail to watmath!lcarroll to get through. The reason I like netnews (and a major reason for its existance) is that it is a source of information not available elsewhere. A new newsgroup is started up and the third article received is a copy of a poem from one of the most widely read books of all time, submitted under what appears to be a stolen pseudonym. This does not represent a good investment of my time, the time of the person who typed it in, or of the 250+ systems who store and transmit this message. Use the net for what it is good for and I will send fewer flames. B.J. decvax!yale-comix!herbison-bj Herbison-BJ@Yale
