  No, you didn't find that in eunet.jokes. Instead, you edited the original
posting (included below), but left the article ID:s and original poster's name
untouched. That's not very nice.
  As a gentleman, I'm sure You won't have anything against me mailing a
little suggestion to your local postmaster. Hopefully some other readers
of this newsgroup take the same action.

  Dear postmaster,

    User <jagrogan@vax1.tcd.ie> has sent a forwarded News-posting from
eunet.jokes to the worldwide newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.tech, a group
specifically intended for technical discussions. These things happen now
and then. But not only did he post a jokes article in the wrong group, he
*changed* the wording of the original article, but still referred to it as the
original.

    As this is *very* *bad* behaviour on the network, I suggest that you
deprive him/her of his/hers rights to use the computers at your site for at
least half a year.

    Also, please note that the jokes by themselves are harmless. What concerns
me is the abuse of the network to badmouth a (probably unknowing) person.

   Sincerely,

   Leonard Norrgard,
   <postmaster@abo.fi>
