Do you take responsibility if someone then send some viruses and other little creatures (like bugs and so on)? Definitely there is need for moderator. We shouldn't take c.p.i.b and Rahul Dhesi as an example of NO-NO but as an example which should take as a warning - as a situation which should be taken care of. They only let it go too far. -- Harri Valkama (hv@uwasa.fi) anon. ftp site (128.214.12.3)
