Followup-to: poster
This is your moderator speaking.
There was an ad posted in this group that was forged so that I was
bypassed completely. From scraps that I have seen elsewhere, it would
not have been approved by me. It also seems that the article was part
of a `spam', i.e., the same article was posted, in separate copies, in
each newsgroup on Usenet; needless to say, this behavior is completely
unacceptable.
It also seems that other people have been cancelling the article everywhere,
including this group. If anyone has a copy, please send me a copy at
wirzeniu@cs.helsinki.fi, so that I can inspect it and take any necessary
corrective action.
Thanks.
Please resume the wait for the slow moderator to actually process some
articles.
