...and a whole lot more stuff that's inappropriate to a news posting.  
(Readers should remember that MAIL, yes MAIL is the place where
sentences are supposed to read like "You did this, and you said that, so
who do you think you are?"  Here we write for everyone to read.)

At any rate, while it's great to know that Brad straightened this user
out, the lesson remains and should be run through once before we let
this drop.  *IF* one takes "all" from one's news neighbor, then one *is*
at the mercy of whatever that neighbor decides to send, be it alt.*,
clari.*, or leprosy.*; and if something unwelcome arrives, the place to
take it up is with the *admin of the site that fed it*, not with the
distant poster who wrote it.  Period.  Every posting carries path
information to tell how it arrived.  Use it!
