I'm the news administrator for the University of Kentucky. As soon as I found out about the post, I: 1) Removed the article locally. I later found out that there were ten copies of the article, and removed those too. 2) Mailed a notice to the postmaster of mwk.uucp. 3) Posted a notice to news.admin, so other news administrators would know what was up. The site's postmaster responded hours later that they knew what had happened and had dealt with Mr. Tway. "Most harshly" were his exact words. All of this took place DAYS ago! C'mon, the incident is over! Any further mail on the subject is pure harassment; any further posting is a waste of bandwidth. Let's all forget about Mr. Tway and go back to discussing the best computer on the planet... -- Kenneth Herron kherron@ms.uky.edu University of Kentucky (606) 257-2975 Department of Mathematics "Never trust gimmicky gadgets" -- the Doctor
