Folks, you've just got to realize that the Imminent Death Of USENET will result if we don't all toe the party line. I want you all together now to say "Baaaaaaaaa.." once in unison. Hmmm. Not so good. You should all practice that in front of a mirror for at least 5 minutes a day until you get it right. With feeling. I also want to warn you that such BEHAVIOUR will result in not only the Death Of USENET, but the actual, physical death of certain people using it. Gene Spafford has already received anonymous death threats (all scribbled on the backs of various license agreements) and this can only escalate. Rumors have it that publishers like Psygnosis actually have a nuclear capability, which they will use on known concentrations of hacking activity and/or major USENET gateways, and that Microprose is currently bartering with Saddam Hussein for Chemical and Biological weapons (in exchange for A10 counter-air simulators). Can you imagine Microprose with ABSW, running amuck at the 16 bit show? I shudder to think of it. Fair warning.
