Heres my $0.02.

I think Greg started with a good idea; strip the commercials and send ST
Report onto Usenet.

Unfortunately for all concerned, he started cutting (and/or commenting)
the body of the material.  The material may have been Redundant, Wrong,
or whatever, but any such cutting must change the intent of the author.
This I think is wrong.

(Personally, I think that if Greg felt disclaimers were needed he should
have posted a "rebuttal" with the original.)

Hopefully, if Greg sticks to his words, ST-Report will dissapear from
Usenet and the author will know his document will stay in one piece, even
if its unread.
