Message-ID: <16465@watmath.UUCP> Date: Mon, 16-Sep-85 10:59:09 EDT Article-I.D.: watmath.16465 Posted: Mon Sep 16 10:59:09 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 17-Sep-85 05:01:17 EDT Reply-To: jagardner@watmath.UUCP (Jim Gardner) Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 18 Xref: watmath net.misc:8595 net.flame:11946 [...] I resolved to wait until I got ten mail messages flaming me... A week ago, I goofed and sent a game review to net.games.chess in addition to net.games.board (I forwarded it via another message which happened to be posted to both groups). Since that time, I have got eleven messages telling me to keep net.games.chess to chess. I KNOW THAT!!! I SCREWED UP! I SAW IT MYSELF THE NEXT DAY. Might I suggest that the guardians of group purity (in any group) wait until the SECOND inappropriate message before descending in droves. Two messages indicates a trend that may need correcting. A single message should be assumed to be innocent until proven guilty. Jim Gardner, University of Waterloo Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
