[news.sysadmin] Public apology for chain letter posted here.

alexis@panix.uucp (Alexis Rosen) (06/22/91)

To all those who have written to us about our former user, Josh Reznick:

I would like to apologize for his bad behavior. We do _NOT_ condone the
posting or mailing of chain letters. His account has been removed, and it
is extremely unlikely that it will be reinstated at any point in the future.

I remember, just a month ago, sending a very annoyed note to the postmaster
at ucb (or uc-something) about one of their users sending this exact same
letter. So I am doubly ashamed that this should happen here at our site.
We try to make sure that all our users understand issues of net policy and
ettiquette (not to mention _our_ policy) before we give them accounts. This
one just got away from us, and we're sorry.

For whatever it's worth, I've cancelled the article.

(Followups to news.sysadmin. But I hope there won't be any. Please.)
