I would recommend "Babylon 5" for anyone who LOVES bad acting, the moldiest of scripts, and special effects straight out of "Battlestar Galactica". OK, it's not NEARLY as painful to watch as "VR 5", but it's right up there. Me, I'd rather watch reruns of "Cop Rock". mikael.jakonen@mailbox.swipnet.se (Mikael Jakonen) rants: >I have a sollution that some might think is a bad idea: >We all agree (even all lurkers) to send a couple of copies each back to >those post ads. >Nuke them with their own posts! ;-) >That way they will (hopefully) learn to stay away. "No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" - Sam, from "Sam and Max hit the Road". Mailbombing a jerk who sends innappropriate ads is a VERY bad idea, because one of the two will happen: 1) It hurts the innocent OTHER users on the system (not to mention the probably-innocent sysadmin) OR 2) The account will probably be pulled by the time you read the message anyway, so the sender will never see your bomb, anyway. WHAT TO DO ABOUT THESE JERKS: Copy the letter and send the complete letter WITH HEADER to postmaster@ and wherever the letter was sent from. For example, if canter@foo.bar.com sends chain letter to MAKE MONEY FAST, copy it and send it to postmaster@bar.com (The "foo" is just the name of the user's node, so ignore it). You can be rest assured the jerk will never spam again... ObKate - I think William Wegman should have done the cover for "Hounds of Love" - Stev0 the dilletante "Gaffa doesn't mean ANYTHING!
