Thank you for bringing to my attention the abuse of the NEWS network by the
person Petra. Obviously we cannot be responsible for the items posted by
users but we do treat the matter seriously and take action when we know of
the problem.
We disabled the account of this person once we knew the network name and are
awaiting an opportunity to take the matter further with him or her.
Thank you again for your help, I hope there will be no further incidents.

As a note.. I had tracked him down myself.. His name is J. Halliday (HE) unsure of first name, I mailed him a nasty letter but it seems that the "authorities" caught up with him just as soon.. Jcohen@islsun1.mse.lehigh.edu
