I forwarded the argic newspostings in news.admin.policy to postmaster
at both anatolia and uunet stating that these articles were inappropriate
for the news.admin.policy newsgroup.  I received no response from uunet,
but I did receive "this has been forwarded to /dev/null" from postmaster
@anatolia along with the entire post appended to it.  So the "mail
bombings" are actually an "interactive" sport (since pomes did not
mail bomb the site from what I understand).

anatolia's postmaster also sent a message to my postmaster stating
that I was mail bombing his site and to control me.  I'll see if
that post is still around (this all happened from another site that
I have netaccess on).
