[net.followup] FLAME to people who post tests in net.general

laura@utcsstat.UUCP (Laura Creighton) (09/12/83)

dear slug who posted test messges to a lot of inappropriate newsgroups
but who I cannot send flaming mail back to,

you are at purdue, right?
purdue has a lot of machines. Why don't you set up purd.test1, purd.test2,
purd.test3 and so on. You can probably get the nice folks at ihnp4 (or
wherever else you get your news from) to subscribe to purd.test (or
to.purdue if you want to follow the naming conventions that are used
around here). That way we aren't all bothered with your garbage, which
we in Toronto are not interested in, and I am pretty sure nobody in
Europe or Australia is either.

I would rather have sent you mail, but you chickened out and posted
from a non-existant account. perhaps this message will get the idea
across to other folks who might intemd to do similar stupid things.
