Letter-bomds? I've already sent one. Actually, I sent a mild
flame (gasoline doused with water) to the account which the kiddish post
was from, and here's the reply I got back:

I must apologise for the offending/annoying article placed in the
.tech section. I must also add, however, that it was not I who placed it
there but a fellow classmate who got my password. Being an Amiga
user myself I would not post such articles to that section, and it was done
as a joke by the person in question because I have an Amiga and he,
unfortunatly, has only a P.C.. I have removed the article in question at this
end but it'll probably take a while for it to go through the network. I am
however forwarding all replys to the person in question who posted that
article.
Cheers,
Grog.
P.S. Don't worry, it won't happen again because I'm more careful with my
Password.

I don't know about you, but I believe him. Account access to
computers are too often shared by student where such access is limited. I
guess this incident just goes to prove again the "maturity" of your typical
PC users! 8) (I don't mean that. I have an AT myself). Sorry to post
this in .tech group. All followups are directed to c.s.amiga.
