I would like to make a public apology for my poor choice of
wording/quoting in my follow-up article.  It can apparently be
misinterpreted in such a way as to shed bad light on uunet and how
well they maintain distributions; I most certainly did not intend to
imply such a slur to Rick and the rest of the uunet crew.  I apologize
to those readers who were misled/offended by it.

Dave
