Wow, a postcard from another world!  :-)  Fletcher Mattox
has no responsibility to further the spread of your deathless
prose.  Indeed, he has a responsibility to adhere to the
acceptable use policies of the networks with which the
machine that has so arised your ire interacts.  What is
so marvelous about your words that every single person
must be able to see them?  Where did you get the idea that
you had a legal right to use the cs.utexas.edu mail to news
gateway?  You might be the idiot that single-handedly causes
that facility to vanish, since I'm sure you've been
exercising your other right, to pester anyone and everyone
at UT to cause as much trouble for Fletcher as you can.

In case Fletcher or any of the Powers That Be at UT read
this, I say what many of us know:  The professional attitude
that Fletcher has brought to the Austin networked community
reflects in an extremely positive way on the University.
The self-serving complaint of one dissatisfied user should
not outweigh his service, or the contribution that the
machine(s) for which he is responsible makes to electronic
communication throughout the educational and business
communities.
