Wayne, 

Was it really necessary to include so many copies of your sigfile in
this posting?  A responsible poster would have edited these out.  Heal
thyself.  I've also got to laugh that you've now posted every word of
postings which you'd previously cancelled.  Of course, now that they're
not in their proper threads, there's even *less* chance that anyone is
going to care what they say.  I think one of the most idiotic things 
I've seen here is Wayne McDougall, net crusader, posting 450k worth of
something nobody will ever read, as justification for cancelling posts
which among other things, wasted bandwidth.

I also notice that though in a previous post you say that you never
contacted anyone's service provider, you have in most cases set the
reply-to address to the person's own postmaster, which effectively
contacts their provider if they dare question you, and have not noticed
that the reply-to address is not your address.  Personally, I think
that's the mark of an asshole.

I myself had one post cancelled by you - admittedly one in which I did
not trim the newsgroups or followups - and would have accepted an
admonishment much more readily than the action you took.  In private
e-mail you admit that nz.general is not a moderated newsgroup and you
are not its moderator, so I would request that you get off your high
horse and let me separate the wheat from the chaff and decide what I 
wish to read.
