	And THEN we'll see a whole bunch of usenet neophytes rushing right
out to try this really neato thing that they read about forging articles.
Some of them will be "I wanted to see if this really works." The great majority
will NOT. I've seen people forge articles for the sole purpose of convincing
the entire net that someone they don't like is a real jerk.

	I say PLEASE DON'T POST ANY SUCH ARTICLE. E-mail if you HAVE to, but
let's encourage as few jerks as necessary.
