Re: How do I know if its encrypted? (fwd)




T.C. May, so eloquently  waxed:

The squeals of the net.cops were impressive to behold! Demands to
Netcom that I be expelled from the Net, that the "Child Welfare
Agents" would soon be breaking down my doors, etc. 

Nobody spotted the message. After several days, I "let the truth be
told," which of course enraged others. 

I thought this digression might be amusing to some.

Did they write the standard "ticket"?

My apologies to all responsible users who have had to view this horrible,
lousy, lame, excuse for writing.  I certainly hope this person gets their

permanently revoked.
