Hmmm...  Let's play "what if."  What if you didn't gripe
to Mr. Mattox, and didn't publish your gripe far and wide?
Sure, some other miscreant could have come along and been
a rude jerk.  They'd be pilloried as you have been.
But if no one had done so, the mail-to-news gateway would
still be there, barring other catastrophic events.  Take
the responsibility for what you did.
Now, if you were a system administrator, and you had to
choose whether to make a service available to the Net at
large, and to commit your time to maintain it, how would
the events that we're discussing affect your decision?
