The following message was sent directly to the offender. The offense
is so heinous that I believe it is worth a public notice to others
of similar childish minds.
My comments arose from a pointless directory posted by pur-ee!CSvax:abw.
87 lines of demonstrating to net.land that he just found the command:
ls /usr/spool/news/* or wonder-of wonders, LIST OF LISTS.
There is a group net.jokes for infantile trash such as this...I hope
CSvax:abw is shown how to access it.

You are either ignorant, illiterate, or just an ordinary net.abuser.
I'm sure you never noticed the title of this group is net.aviation....
IF purdue has a library, get a latin dictionary and see if the root
word for aviation is trash, directory, or any other such meaning. I am
a pilot and I want to see net.aviation as a group interest column, not
your idea of a joke.
This is NOT ROT13 but you couldn't read that any way....so f**k off!

Dear teltone!reo,
Whereas the original offender "pur-ee!CSvax:abw" probably was just a victim
of his lack of knowledge, and deserves the benefit of the doubt of having
inconvenienced us by accident,
your belligerent rethoric and intolerance of "neophytes" is scary. Folks
like you start bar-fights over an accident , and real Wars when they get
hold of the "button".
Please be a little more tolerant. Thanks.
P.S.: Sorry folks for posting this here, but I felt it needed saying "in public

...teletone!reo's reprimand of pur-ee!CSvax:abw is entirely too mild and should definitily include lurid and profane descriptions of the offender's ancestors. David.. ...houxm!houxl!braddy
