I read the massage form " ... my little niece" and felt the same way
you did. But I rather put up with it than censor the net. Look how
many more clean messages there are. Out of about 6000 postings I
only saw that one dirty piece of mail. Any way, I responded to him
with: "about your niece: why don't you ask your mother and father.
They may have a clue." Not very nice ey?
Which brings me to your other question. Right after I posted the
responce and saw my name next to it I felt pretty dumb. why
broadcast my real name for wierdos. A nick name or even Email
address is OK with me. So I went back I figured out how to remove
the message (I think). I hope I did it in time.
If you have a Netscape brouser there is a way to send messages
anonymously. In the WINDOWS menu (top right on the tool bar for
a Mac) there is an item called something like NEWS
PREFERENCES. Select IDENTITY there and change your name
and or user name to a nickname.
Happy surfing. But be careful.
