Yeah! What is going on here? I worked with Gary for a while and he's just
about the nicest person I've met. If this keeps up, we'll lose all of the
worthwhile netters. Something needs to be done about this sort of thing
(i.e. hate mail), but in the anarchic universe of USENET, I can't imagine
what it would be. "Sargentizing" the offenders may be a possibility.

Anybody have any good ideas?
