Oooooh! That's *very* good news indeed! Did you get that news
officially, or...? I did write to them to alert them to what that
axxwipe was up to, and telling them that I was referring a *lot* of
folks their direction and hoped they wouldn't honor his requests.
Never got a response, though.

Karl this is from a post from one other news server admin:

I don't think he will answer the same question over and over again.
