Subject: Abuse and the newsgroup


I have received a warning from my ISP about posting a chain letter to
this newsgroup. I take this seriously, both because I despise chain
letters and because my livelihood depends on having a net connection.

From my ISPs perspective, I did post this letter: I received it from
the mailing list and forwarded it blindly through the gateway to the
newsgroup.

To whoever decided to report this: I do not spam, nor I do not condone
spam. However, I also do not have the time manually to check every
posting that flows through the gateway. If this causes you a genuine
problem, please let me know privately, and I'll take the gateway down.
