You never know what convoluted results your actions are going to
cause... 

A couple of days ago I responded (via email) to a message on the
apple.general group from someone here who had been looking for
gnuemacs? gcc? diffs or support for A/UX. I pointed out that they were
most likely unavailable from FSF for obvious reasons, and that he
should try comp.os.aux or whatever. I get the feeling that this letter
of mine got forwarded around and eventually (with no feedback to me)
resulted in the recent tirade. 

Anyway, if people from Apple would like to discuss this off-line
without offending a lot of people, it should probably be done in
apple.general or apple.aux. USENET isn't AppleLink - the public
newsgroups get distributed to thousands of sites across the world.
