- What's the fear? For every bogus poster using the new means of posting
- provided by Shahrokh (and before that few other friends), we (whatever you
- meant by "we") will shoot twice anyways. So if there are N promoters of
- 'impressing us that there are a lot of them out there,' with your approach
- they will be confronted with 2N times _defenders_. I would have a hard
- time to see defenders' disadvantage if one looked at this from _purely_ a
- mathematical equation.

-
- I personally resent that characterization because I know quite few _real_
- friends of mine who are very thrilled with sci, and they really wished that
- they had access to sci to read or share their views just like you and I.
-
- And whoever wants to abuse the system will do anyways. Was it you that at
- one time challenged us by demonstrating how _easy_ it was for any person
- who knew some networking knowledge to post any article under any name?
-
-
- First the unnecessary: Shahrokh thank you for going through the exercise
- and providing this service for a lot of people. I know there was a time
- that I didn't have access to sci and I would have been the first to have
- used this utility, if it were available at the time. Thanks!
-
- BTW, Babak this service facilitated the opportunity for you to reply to
- the original poster so that _you_ could share your reaction to his post,
- didn't it!?
