[Here is a press release we received from Health News.]
Are you sexually active?
Have you ever been sexually active?
Do you intend to be?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above then the October 1992 issue of
Health News contains information that you must know.
Never easy territory to negotiate, sexual relationships are now more
complex than ever - because of the dangers of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), including AIDS. Health officials warn that the incidence
of STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital warts is silently
reaching epidemic proportions. Who is most at risk of the devastating
effects of untreated STDs - sterility for example, or at increased risk of
ectopic pregnancy? Teenage girls. Especially vulnerable to infection,
young adults must heed the warnings that this issue of Health News
espouses. Read it for yourself. If you are a parent, read it for and to
your teenagers. No one can afford to ignore the today's health realities.
AIDS is the most widely publicized STD - and the most deadly. Cutting
expertise and advice from a wide variety of professional sources, Health
News updates the status of this disease - its spread and developments.
AIDS is not confined to high risk groups Health News warns - and maps out
ways to protect yourself and those close to you from this disease that
many consider "the greatest public health issue of our times."
Finally, Health News turns probing and investigative eyes to the
"Cinderella of psychiatric disorders" - anxiety disorders - long
under-researched and misdiagnosed. Hindering the lives of millions, Health
News provides an in-depth analysis of causes and treatment methods of
these "heart-stopping" disorders.
THE ONLY CANADIAN HEALTH BULLETIN TO COME DIRECTLY FROM A MEDICAL SCHOOL,
Health News provides up-to-date, reliable information on a variety of
topics, from vegetarian diets, cholesterol and sore throats to chronic
fatigue syndrome and managing ulcers. Designed to promote greater health
awareness among the general public and media, Health News features
in-depth articles that are easy to read, easy to understand and always
interesting. Health News is also available in French as Action-Sante.

You must be offering the net a free subscription, and only posting
the price to tell everyone what he or she will save. Certainly you aren't
using USENET commercially, as that is a no-no. And even if you were,
you would not be so stupid a to use samba for that purpose, as samba
EXPLICITLY states that samba is not to be used for any business other
than samba business. Fork out the subscriptions or the apologies, pal.
Start with the apology to the net, then the apology to the SysOps of
samba for going against a rule shown to you EVERY time you log in.
If you are nice about it, maybe samba WON'T delete your account for
disregarding the rules, and MAYBE the net won't flame you to the stone
age.
Of course, the net could say screw second chances, and start filling
your mailbox now. Then samba will delete you just to save their own
disk space. Hmmm...you'd better apologize FAST, pal...that crowd looks
hungry for blood, and they have flame-throwers.
Howard Wilson II, non-spokesperson for the Net or samba, but someone
with the brains to follow a simple rule on an otherwise totally free
system.
