- As many of you may already know, or are now finding out, the
- person on whose account the "LOSERS" post was mailed has
- apologized, noting that his terminal got hung and someone took
- advantage of that.
-
- There have been many people decrying the message (rightly),
- and many people saying "Let's get 'im!" (wrongly).
- THIS SERVES NO PURPOSE. Just leave it. Why?
-
- 1) If the post is because someone left their terminal, they
- are not to blame, and flaming them only makes *you* look like
- an idiot.
-
- 2) If the poster is indeed being an asshole, then flaming him,
- once again, makes *you* look like an idiot. It serves no purpose
- to post a reply to this group. Either he will read it and laugh
- at the beehive he kicked over, or he has unsubscribed and will
- never see it. You're spittin' in the wind.
-
- Thnaks for your cooperation.
