Now to address the flames, comments, etc. about the above mentioned posting. First the posting WAS Rot'ed, and the subject line warned that the contents would be offensive, so in order to read the posting you would have had to Un-Rot the article, that in itself should have forewarned anyone that the contents MIGHT (and in this case some did) be found to be offensive. Someone also mentioned that the poster did not include his name, he did include a long signature, but that did not stop you from sending return mail to the person, as a return address is part of the posting. (Ever here of reply, in vnews and readnews????). So this complaint goes out the window. If you still disagree with me on this, please re-read net.anounce.newusers, and only then I will answer any mail on the subject. -- John Wersan UUCP : {decvax,dual,rocksanne,rocksvax}!sunybcs!daemen!wersan inhp4!kitty!daemen!wersan "Any statements made are not mine, this computer has me mistaken for someone else, of lower intelligence."
