Whoa guys - time to put a stop to this. 

Do *not* - I repeat - do *not* send flames to postmaster@rutgers,
it is entirely inappropriate to do so. A bit of background and
explanation follows...

rubbs1 is a PC Fido Node run by the Rutgers Microlab in Piscataway,
NJ. My theory about Mr Zenchelsky (from what I've been able to glean
from my end - he has an account on my BBS) is that he is a high
school student living in Highland Park, NJ (just down the road from
Piscataway). Mr Zenchelsky probably does not fully realize what
Usenet is nor the ramifications of his posting his message here. I
would venture a guess that he received an A500 as a present, perhaps
having formerly owned a C64, and has carried his piracy over from
that environment.

Now, the good folks who run the Rutgers computers that are on the
net are not solely responsible for the operation of rubbs1. I would
suggest sending mail - *not* flames - to Michael Keyles (keyles@rutgers)
who is responsible for the operation of the Fido node. 

Mr Zenchelsky may have the opportunity to attend one of my user
group meetings such as the one I am holding tommorrow evening. If he
should, I will certainly take the opportunity to converse with him
and find out what I can.
