Dear Tech Support:

	I didn't know where else to send this too. I have a problem with a
newsgroup. Here, let me explain....

	See, I subscribe to a QUAKE newsgroup, and a little while ago
(actually quite some time ago) I found a thread about piracy. So, I
started posting. And posting. And posting. 

	Know what? It's still going.

	Apparently some people are upset that we would discuss PIracy in a
Quake newsgroup, and have threatened complianing individually to our
ISPs. Well, being the nice person I am and all, I decided to save them
the trouble.

	I am hereby officially complaing about myself. Please take any action
neccessary.

	I must say this is the strangest messege I have ever recieved on the
job. 

	I have seen this thread on another newsgroup (Diablo) but I haven't
read any of it until tonight. Although the subject matter isn't
DIRECTLY related to the topic of the newsgroup, it is nonetheless
relevent.

	MindSpring does not have a policy of monitoring newsgroups other than
the Mindspring-only newsgroups. Even if your thread was completly off
the subject, there is nothing we, nor any ISP can do, except on an
individual basis. However, I am not aware of any ISP that does such.
It would be like denying people the use of thier E-mail services
because THEY LIKE TO SCREAM.  It simply isn't done.

If the thread offends anyone, they can easily mark the thread IGNORE.
As far as I know, all newsreaders have this option. Otherwise, you
needn't worry about these people. Just IGNORE them. ;-)
