"Punish"? Surely you're getting rather paranoid here, Mathew. Tossing invalid articles is simply neighborly. A badly-formed article is a failure waiting to happen. That my neighbors drop them on the floor bothers me not one whit. Don't get me wrong. Failure notices are a Good Thing *when practical*. But even if they turn out not to be practical, I will still support the lossage of non-RFC articles. -- Chip Salzenberg at Teltronics/TCT , "You can call Usenet a democracy if you want to.
