Thank you for posting that pointer Brian, I didn't have it. But it certainly show's Wayne is not acting properly, ethically, within nettiquette. I'd like to say that I feel that nz.general has few nettiquette transgressions compared to other groups. If Wayne feels he must be a self-appointed net-cop, then maybe he could make his way over to news.newusers.questions and deal with the breaches there. The poor newbies wouldn't know what had hit them, what was going on, but Wayne could be kept happy all day with the volume there. -- Jeremy Taylor (jeremy_taylor@tait.co.nz)
