Christian Call) Subject: Re: USENET line eater? Okay, everybody on USENET seems to be convinced that there exists a bug somewhere which causes the first lines of articles to disappear. I myself have never noticed any mutilated articles on the net. Does anyone know whether the dreaded line-eater really exists? ....... Tales of "line-eaters" and crocodiles in the sewers will always have a place in society. Lets not try an shatter any myths. Long live "big foot" and the eight foot wombat!
