(NY, NY) Lines: 10 Original-Subject: Re: Rich Rosen costs the net $10,000 I'm not sure what made me do it, but I realize now that I never should have posted my $10,000 flame. Apologies all around; it was just plain a stupid thing to do. To salvage something useful from it, let me point out that this is a good argument in favor of moderated groups. Had net.news.group been moderated my flame would surely have been rejected. -- Roy Smith System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016
