This is in direct violation of the sections 'Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Terms of Use (6)' and 'Discussion Group Terms and (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.admin.terms) !!

| (...) No, as long as you're reasonably polite about it, I don't have any problem with you emailing people directly and asking if they could stop. You could also BCC me on the mail if you like.

| (...) Ooh, Scott's sentence structure there is icky. There's some double negatavism going on, but the phrase "does it not belong" is usually intended to mean the same is "is it true that it belongs"... (...)
