You know, the one who opened the can of worms. I do whole-heartedly agree with the ignore it, and it will go away principle, but I also like to make sure that all options are exercised. For those of you interested (which I hope would be most of you) I will include with this post the letter that I received from the sysadmin for the host from which PETRA was posting from. It is a reply to an inquiry on their policies for 'maliscious users'. For the fact that I have done the footwork, I told him that I would not send a retort, but I leave it to you to do so for yourselves if you feel so inclined (please do) swood From JOHNM@vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au Tue Sep 18 00:38:28 1990 Date: Tue, 18 Sep 90 14:33 +1000 From: John Mann Subject: RE: Who is your sys adm?
