It was cross-posted to several groups, but I don't think it should have triggered any spam-cancelers, and I see nothing in news.admin.net-abuse.misc. I'd find the cuplrit myself, but Stanford only saves the last 100 or so messages in control. See the rather prominent blinking link on the Web page below for the other PGP-signed article that was canceled. Thanks in advance. Followups set to news.admin.net-abuse.misc. Don't bother canceling this article, my friend. By the way, the other articles were saved and emailed as well. - -rich jabba@deathstar.stanford.edu and other accounts moderator of a certain list http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~llurch/innocuous/faq.html PGP key available on MIT server and via finger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMIHC9oND7LjhcPQ9AQHTZgQAxGQZGTFDrzUTfyWCuLTUP2VbIp6IwK/Y NJjy7ke4rgZH+bjegb1h2ig/lALEhnX4+uhurhDJ0wq6du2p5V/DUlsNHCcWvotL GHyd/ZLzXGq6OYRoPijUHAdDBPD2wWIdAfsYNiTgv3iezBJL+2cCq/YLiPd22KyF MROQwF05Hoc= =1K2B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- I will be charitable and assume that it was someone else I've pissed off (lord knows there's several), and not someone working directly for Microsoft or the Church [spit] of Scientology, who were both maligned in the canceled posts.
