From Jordan....
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I must agree with Ken. It certainly is a problem when an entire
organization [Portal] practically encourages net.abuse and gives voice
to those who would probably be better off standing on a folding chair at
Speakers Corner. This form letter, however, seems to be little more than
a page torn from the same book. Granted, it's better written than the average
portal prose and was probably actually run through spell before posting [grin],
but it's still pretty dry reading after the 5th incarnation. Who are you
trying to punish, the portal people or the rest of the net?

I don;t know about other people, but this is the THIRD copy of the
same letter we have received here on PORTAL.  I am not FLAMING Jordan,
but reading the same stuff over and over must be costing some sites
alot of time and money.

Also, I take offense that he does say that PORTAL encourages its
users to abuse the net.  I have never seen or heard anyone who runs
PORTAL encourage its users to abuse USENET.  In fact, the times we have
gotten together, we laugh and joke about others on USENET and their
fun/weird/stupid/bright... postings.

Well, enough of this.  I know I will get flamed just because I am a
PORTAL user, but send me mail anyways, because I like getting it.
