Well if you want to start an action, you should at least examine all the
evidence.

True. but the world is now an interconnected global village. And other
countries that use $ are exposed to it in every aspect of their life.

But if you are so smart, then maybe you would have an understanding that the
world insofar as comms are concerned is  a very small interconnected arena
and if you are experienced in usenet and ecomms in general then you should
have the ability and forsight to understand and correctly react to the
possibility of errors and perhaps naive postings from less experienced users
and after examining all the evidence available then state your case. Had you
checked the message source, and the posting list you (and any half decent 8
year old) would have realised the mistake.

In this instance you have:

a) assumed all users are at your level of assumed expertise when it is
clearly false;
b) applied your own ideals on to others;
c) ignored important sources of evidence;
d) made rash and ill informed commentary;


cheers.
