Fortunately, things like this usually don't last too long. What's really bad is the way it's escalated. The problem, I think, with WWIVNet is that there are so many twits who have/can get access to it. You don't get this with Usenet (generally, anyway) because of the money and hardware generall required to link up. I think WWIVNet is a good thing with a lot of potential. But right now it has a severe case of growing pains. Unky Dave unkydave@shumv!.ncsu.edu
