Since Measekite is now the new moderator in charge net etiquette we all need
to support him in this role. I'm sure he always wants to play by the rules
and understands what happens when those terms of service are violated.
Paragraph 9 MEMBER CONDUCT item (a) is one that I'm sure he will want to
strictly abide by. Let's be supportive of him in his new role and if we see
someone violating the TOS it is entirely appropriate for a user to report
such violations to the users ISP. For SBC and it's subsidiaries which
includes PacBell (Measekite's ISP) that would be abuse@sbc.com. I'm sure Mr.
Measekite will be more than appreciative of our support in helping rid this
newsgroup of spammers, profanity and trolls who dishonestly change the
wording of the posts from other users.
