Hello fellow commie-haters,
How do you kill a process? I just started missile-launch, but it
just won't abort. Can I find out by trial and error?
My second question is about the removal of certain files
(in the justice department database).

Your postmaster will hear of this. Along with the postmasters of vu.nl

I can see your point, but his message wasn't really harmful. If his forgery was directed at another net user I can see reporting it, but this..... --John -- John R. Petersen -- jrp@bu-it.bu.edu

Oh, well - nevermind then. I would have used a smiley, but is this a joke? Ant in Chicago.

Too bad, but it appears that you are one of them. Do yourself a favor and list three good reasons why such postings are harmful. There are actually more than that, but the mere effort on your part to find just three might do you some good. No, don't ask me to do it for you. If you can't figure the reasons, it will take much more than a few words on a screen to teach them to you. And I'm not in the business of teaching kindergarten ethics.

I just cant figure out why this is so evil and naaasty. Now I can accept the notion that I am morally bankrupt, but perhaps I'm not the only one that can't quite figure this out. I mean, you don't reallt think that people believed Ollie North started posting to the net from Holland do you ? Or could it be that you got all torqued because somebody defecated in your splendid new newsfroup, and you took it all personal like ? >Followups have been directed to alt.flame. Splendid idea.

It may have not occurred to you, but what I found funny was not the article "purposelessly violating law or custom", but rather your response to it. I would have thought that even a cursory reading of my article would have made that eminently clear. Apparently I am incorrect in that assumption. > And I'm not in the business of teaching kindergarten ethics. Judging from your mailing, it is good that you are not in the business of teaching ethics.
