[net.followup] An apology to you all

benn@sphinx.UChicago.UUCP (Eldarion ap Aragorn) (11/24/85)

[]
This is my apology for posting a flame in net.general.  I had flamed
against one John Salmi [whose reply is below] for his posting a want
ad in net.general.  My rationalization was:  if no one minds a 
mundane abuse of net.general then why don't I wake them up?  It seems
that I was the only one asleep.  I must say I am gratified that so
many readers of the net take netiquette seriously.  I wish there were
enough such to control *all* the net.
	As penance, I will not post to the net for two weeks. Further, for
the first week, I will only read net.jokes, and I will not use the 'n' key.
Hope that's stiff enough to satisfy you.  Finally, I apologize to John and 
the net as a whole.

ps:  And no more flames, I promise.
