This is not an official position of Stanford University, but rather my opinion... ignore it. It's too stupid to waste time with it. [Official Position Mode On] There will always be objectional messages posted to the USENET news system. Stanford University has no way of controlling the contents of these messages and is not responsible for their generation or propagation. After the fact, we can destroy messages on demand. Unless a message specifically violates a University policy or guideline, I will be extremely reluctant to remove it--as a policy, I do not censor. Messages that are so objectional that an agent of the University (me) must take an official stand will be handled on a case by case basis. Under these circumstances, I may chose to involve my superiors or other appropriate representatives of the University to cover my own posterior. [Official Position Mode Off] We're all supposed to be reasonably mature individuals. Part of maturity is knowing what battles are worth fighting, and which are best ignored. I think that the best way to keep things sane is to ignore messages that you may consider brain damaged. -- KC6TCN nee WD6BDK A well mannered man never insults anyone on purpose.
