This is a complete crock.  I really hope people don't start wasting
more bandwith all over the net with this crap.  I've already seen two,
one in alt.sources and one in news.groups.  To say that Jef, Mark and
Larry are guilty parties of wasting bytes by posting offending
articles is such a ridiculous thing.  The group is for sources, mutton
head!  And that's what they bloody well provided!!!  PBM, less and
upgrades to Perl.  These are very useful programmes to many people on
the net but your stupid script brands them as some sort of criminals.
Get a clue, get a life and stop wasting our time with this shit.
