I was appalled to discover, after returning from my teaching assignment in Goettingen, that someone has been using my login to spread malice and dissention through USENET. I cannot understand what motives might have inspired this misuse of my login on a BTL research machine. What possible amusement could there have been that could not have been obtained by the culprit using his own login or forging a synthetic one, which Lord knows is easy enough. I have, of course, changed the password on my account, and asked the system administrator (rabbit!ark) of rabbit to do what he can to prevent any further abuse of my login. What I cannot do is to repair the damage that has been done to the net. I have a mailbox full of messages berating me for articles none of which I have ever seen. I have never either read or submitted an article to net.suicide or to any other news group other than net.nlang. E. Bimmler
