Message-ID: <737@pyuxqq.UUCP> Date: Sun, 14-Jul-85 21:30:35 EDT Article-I.D.: pyuxqq.737 Posted: Sun Jul 14 21:30:35 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 17-Jul-85 04:36:45 EDT Organization: Bell Communications Research, Piscataway, NJ Lines: 11 Why do some people post articles with electronic machine pahts that can not be reached? The 'r' command to send a reply from readnews is then rendered useless. Some of them are kind enough to list alternates at the bottom of the article, but others just can't be answered! I can understand if not all machines a person uses receive netnews, but every poster should be able to be reached on the machine articles are posted from! Good grief, why should a path that wraps around onto 2 lines have to be typed in by hand? Lets all try to post articles ONLY from machines where replies can be sent!
