   I see that I must've really hit some buttons with Kaevins teaching   
   disorder because someone has hacked Usenet into publishing me only under   
   the Salvinia header, which is not entirely a bad thing:) However, some   
   of you may be uneasy about the fact that it 'is' possible for the   
   unscrupulous and morally bankrupt to do this to someone they don't like.   
   So what we have here is not just a situation of schwann vs. the rest,   
   it's really a situation where a netizen's inalienable rights and   
   personal freedom of expression on usenet have been compromised by a   
   person, or group of people, that put themselves above the rest.   
   According to both written and unwritten usenet law, you can say anything   
   you like to anybody, so long as you don't threaten them with any harm in   
   the physical world, but these cads take things one step further, one   
   huge step backwards for mankind. To the coder that did this: You're not   
   classed as a hacker. Hackers don't act in an uncool manner.  You yearn   
   for nostalgia, of the time when you stood out from the rest. But times   
   have changed and left you behind. You have broken the code and are now   
   of a lower order than a deleted kill-file that once existed beneath the   
   TCP/IP stack in 1993. This act is the equivalent of forging my name and   
   writing slander, and it is a criminal act.   
      
   In any event, I wont post more than 'test messages' until this person,   
   or group of persons, find the necessary strength to continue being   
   human.   
      
   To all the true hackers out there, "Honour the code - Keep the Faith"
