Good, I'm glad to here that. Don't forget to tell CC, judging by his 
e-mails to me, he's a little bit confused by his AUP.

Now what about rephrasing things slightly and suggesting to CC that 
that's exactly what he should tell the next twit who comes along and 
whines: "...that horrible Spiro person posted a nasty message in a 
newsgroup I happened to be reading. I think it was called alt.flame..."

And where would "here" be? Altnet.general? Do you mean it is no longer 
acceptable to discuss Altopia's AUP in this newsgroup? 

Maybe you're a bit confused too?
