Ok, wanna talk about *real* dorks now... > From: an126084@anon.penet.fi > Organization: Anonymous contact service This hasn't been flamed yet, and I'm very proud that no one has risen to his flame bait. I don't have anything to say about his obvious dickheadedness, but I do want to say one thing. This creep used a decent, reliable, anonymous service to hide behind, and I protest. This is happening all over the net, where cowards are using anon.penet.fi to post inflammatory flamage, and it's unfortunately giving the anon service a bad name. I'm putting out a plea for anyone who might, to not blame the anon service for the pea-brains of the world. anon.penet.fi is a *needed* and *useful* service that is the lifeline for many people who post in various support newsgroups. I speak from experience, having a penet.fi number under 1000 (check his number out to see how many people have gotten an #s since then) and I hate to see this service used to post flamage *anywhere*, let alone gaffa. Please, blame the poster, not the messenger. To the poster: if you want to know about that "Kate Jacobs" (?) (not Kate Bush) photo spread, have enough guts to use your own name. It's an old misunderstanding, and an oft-asked question. I'm sure it's even in the FAQ (and if it's not, it should be) so take a look there. Vickie
