When I posted an article the other day, I inadvertently deleted the space (0x20) following the colon in the "Keywords:" header. I received mail from somebody or other informing me that my article had beed rejected due do its failure thereby to adhere to the most high and correct standard. Please accept my abject apologies for my error. I sincerely hope that my article has been rejected by all righteous and morally upstanding hosts. I do not want the fruit of my transgression to propogate and further pollute the pristine purity of the net. -- Kent Forschmiedt ... kentfo@polari ... uw-beaver!sumax!polari!kentfo

Which news reader were you using to post this? This is a bug in your
news software, which should be brought to the attention of the
maintainer of that software and fixed in the next public release.

As is well known, all users memorize RFC822, RFC1036 and RFC1123 before posting, and can recite them backwards. The fact that you were *foolish* enough to make a *mistake* sets you apart from the regular readers of this newsgroup, who are all perfect and hence do not require their software to cope with other people's errors (or even report them.) > I > do not want the fruit of my transgression to propogate and further pollute > the pristine purity of the net. Indeed. As is also firmly established, the purpose of the net is to save time. Every article deleted betters the net. Consider yourself lucky. In the next release of C News, all posters will be required to attach electrodes to their nipples so that inews can administer a short but painful corrective punishment. mathew
