I asked Mike this same question.  The post overrode moderation but Mike
claims not to understand how it happened.  He appears to be a naive
usenet poster.  I replied to him and suggested that he talk to his
usenet admin about their software (from what he told me I suspect a
modified Pnews).  So if you were about to send him a flaming email,
don't.  He's already received a bit of mail and he says he didn't do it
on purpose and he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
