- It seems to be rising. Do you remember how CRS people were using the
- newsgroups to send personal messages to each other a few years ago?
- It seemed like it didn't stop until there was some complaining on the
- net about it. A little embarassment never killed anyone. (I should

- That's great. Perhaps they should post once in a while letting the rest
- of us know that they aren't ignoring the misuses of the net. Those of
- us not connected to them just get to see the abuse.

-
- Which is no excuse.
