No.  I find it difficult to accept your apology, as graciously worded as it
may be.  I am sick and tired of seeing your umpteen-lines long message in
every newsgroup I turn to.  Your message, if it were as important as you
thought it was (not that I am expressing any views on its validity here,
such criticism should be in net.news) could POSSIBLY have taken the form
of a short pointer in net.general to a main article in net.news.  POSSIBLY.
But to pollute all my favorite net.games* groups with such (choose-your-own-
colourful-expletives) is the act of an utter boor, with no sense of public
responsibility.

No doubt the message was sent with good intentions.  You may have heard that
a certain road has been paved with such intentions.  Why not follow it?

DISCLAIMER: this message does not represent the views of anyone or any
organization except its author (and only when he has been driven into an
extremely agitated state of mind).
