OK, first of all: The reason why the whole FAQ was quoted in my post was a
problem with the mail server, which is actually clotting up the Stanford
nodes, so it wasn't my fault. So the crack about me being neuron deficient
was pretty low -- as if we can defend ourselves against things going wrong
with the news servers. They jsut switched over to a new version of 'rn' and
one of the bugs is that although it allows you to choose whether to include
a file in the post, it _always_ appends the text of an original article
between your posting and your .sig.

Second: I don't have any problem with the FAQ, I just know that other groups
have gotten in trouble for things similar to this, and I wouldn't want anything
to happen to people with the same enthusiasm for PBeMs as me.

So, like, uh, Beavis, like, chill out. You're ruining the video.
