Instead, you edited the original posting (included below), but left the article ID:s and original poster's name untouched. That's not very nice. As a gentleman, I'm sure You won't have anything against me mailing a little suggestion to your local postmaster. Hopefully some other readers of this newsgroup take the same action. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trinity College, Dublin Postmaster Dear postmaster, User has sent a forwarded News-posting from eunet.jokes to the worldwide newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.tech, a group specifically intended for technical discussions. These things happen now and then. But not only did he post a jokes article in the wrong group, he *changed* the wording of the original article, but still referred to it as the original. As this is *very* *bad* behaviour on the network, I suggest that you deprive him/her of his/hers rights to use the computers at your site for at least half a year. Also, please note that the jokes by themselves are harmless. What concerns me is the abuse of the network to badmouth a (probably unknowing) person.
