	I've only been following this discussion for a couple of days, but
today's posts seemed only to confim (not deny as they were intended
to) the position of the net in general vs. Serdar Argic.  In
particular, he quoted a short amount of my previous post, then
proceeded in a completely off topic post of some other information
that has absolutely no relavance to news.admin.policy whatsoever.

	I believe this only strenghens my previous arguement --- that all
people posting to usenet should have a valid mail address.  Why?
Because I am experience enough with UsNet to want to reply personally
to this person --- most likely with a flame.  I would otherwise not
want to bother the other fine people of this group with my post.  This
is very desireable for everybody.

	I don't care what Serdar Argic wants to say.  He? has the right to
say it, and I will fight to protect that right.  However, as one of
the very few controls put on UsNet --- for the sake of our sanity, I
should be able to flame him, or mail him... or converse with him
privately.  Of course, he could ignore all these... that's his
prviledge also.

	I suppose it only takes one person to change things.  It also only
takes one person to create a need for things to be changed.  IMHO
posting access should *require* a mail address.  Is that too much to
ask?

Dave.

I don't think that's unreasonable, but who's the "one person" who's
going to enforce or maintain that policy?

Actually, the following addess *seems* to work (well, it doesn't bounce  
like sera@zuma.UUCP does....)

anatolia.mn.org!zuma!sera@uunet.uu.net

Then again, it just might be going to the bit bucket.  However, so far all  
of his posts have gone through

anatolia.mn.org

and they might be his primary feed...

It has been suspected before, that "mutlu/argic" is not a person,
but some kind of "eliza" program. Obviously there is a bug, which made
it start in "news.admin.policy" while scanning for "politics".
The volume and pitch is annoying, but it is nice to watch it working.
