This would probably be a good time to point out that at no time did I
state that I had actually installed the code to do this.  If you look
back and re-read my postings on the subject, you'll note that I stated
that modifying news 2.11 B to silently drop non-compliant articles was
my solution to the problem; I did not say that I had implemented the
solution on a site somewhere.  Perhaps "terrorist tactics" is a bit
premature and (in my opinion) a bit of a loaded phrase.
