I know this is a joke posting, but keep in mind that USNET
is not the real world.  In the real world, I have a BA Journalism
and was editor-in-chief for a small newspaper.

You missed the entire point of my original message.  I was talking
about junk email over NSF networks, not junk USENET posts.
I know USENET != Internet. (As a matter of fact, I spent an hour on the
