My apologies to all of you out there.  I accidentally posted two requests to
see if anyone wanted my modem and box of OS/2.  I'm new to the Internet and
somehow attached my posts to someone elses (in the form of a reply).  The person
had cross-posted (it seems) to practically every Usenet from Australia to Russia.
Mine, unfortunately, went along for the ride.  I had not intended those posts
to go to most of the forums in which they ended up.

The responses I got from those posts ranged from very earnest parties
interested in the items I had... to many who politely alerted me to my 
cross-posting error... to (quite disturbing to me) angry and insulting people
who blindly assumed I had done it deliberately.  Some of those posts
actually spewed forth obscene language at me (and they had the nerve of accusing 
"me"of misusing the Internet!

To all of you who stumbled upon my two posts and foundthey they did not belong in your
forum, again I am truly sorry for the mistake.  It won't happen again.
