Hellay there everyone! It is I, Exile, posting to apologize to everyone who was annoyed at my cancels... I was just fed up with 30 posts by this guy a day hitting my site. It really was an experiment to see how the Internet handles cancels, and now I know... I have only been online here for 2 weeks steadily and finally said "What the Hell, try it" and I did. Really, I wish the Argic material was a AI-like program or some such, because I would like to see the coding! Alas it is not to be... instead we (everyone NOT argic) are forced to stand idly by while the InterNet terrorist Argic continues unabated attack on everything not even related to what He is babbling about. Well, you all have set the policy and *I* will abide by from now on, yet I won't hesitate to help anyone who finds a way to silence the endless babble from zuma. The mental picture here is frightening to say the least. Anyway, thanks for your posts about proper policy and again, apologies to all who were annoyed, but I felt I should at least try it once and *see* for myself.

L8r Next time use 'misc.test' for such experiments. Yeah, you picked the one target on all of Usenet that was least likely to get much sympathy, but even so you got flack for canceling other people's posts. Hopefully this will teach you something about how the Net works. -- Jurgen Botz, jbotz@mtholyoke.edu
