 As system administrator of plains, the North Dakota HECN Unix machine,
 I wish to formally apologize on the behalf of Eric Hernes for the above
 posted article.

 Mr. (though with his childish actions, he does not deserve this title) Hernes'
 attitude in no way reflect the users of North Dakota, nor this institution.

 There is no way to even begin to justify this kind of behavior, and I assure
 you if he gets an account back on this machine, he will not get net news
 posting ability.

 I agree with the author of a follow up to the above article, who said
 this kind of behavior is something that would be in a nazi newsgroup.
