        Subject: Re: USENET line eater?
        Okay, everybody on USENET seems to be convinced that there
        exists a bug somewhere which causes the first lines of
        articles to disappear.  I myself have never noticed any
        mutilated articles on the net.  Does anyone know whether
        the dreaded line-eater really exists?

        .......

    Tales of "line-eaters" and crocodiles in the sewers will always have a
    place in society. Lets not try an shatter any myths. Long live "big foot"
    and the eight foot wombat!
