If I was wrong, nobody ever corrected me despite my
posting the complaint repeatedly to comp.org.cauce.

Look up the original posts at DejaNews:

#   non mixmaster messages back to the sender in case the sender didn't
#   know it was a remailer and wants to resend the article somewhere else.
#   However, that doesn't mean I can't spool such messages in a mailbox

They never answered. Not him, not me.

Speaking of problems: it's definite: the great attempt to
censor the Internet has begun in England.

Mainly Usenet is under attack: pics of mere nudity are being
deleted without any legal process whatsoever.

See my posts in comp.org.eff.talk ...

I've put two pics of nekked kids up at www.panix.com/~guy
as part of the "discussion".

They (Demon, UUNET, ...) are deleting both pics and
apparently text files too, and reporting them to the
police.

The Thought Police are here.
