One error does not a fool make.  It is the repeated refusal to recognise
the error and correct it.  It is the inability to say, "I was wrong,"
that makes the fool.

Agreed.  Everyone should read the guide to network news and have a full

And that is precisely the thing most fail to understand.  If I own
a machine I can transport what I wish over it.  You can say
what you wish but I am not obligated to echo it to the world.
Before you hit 'f' read this.  

I don't care what you say.  I probobly would echo your words worldwide
but, I am not obligated to.
