If you follow up to this message without removing misc.test from the header you
will spend the next week getting e-mail from what seems like every news site
in the world.  It's fine if you intention is to check your news posting
software, but it's quite another to get a ton of e-mail that you don't want.
That post was one of the finest examples of flame bait that I've seen.  It's
entirely an emotional plea with no factual data to support any claims.  Essen-
tially, it's childishness.
