  22. Even if your sysadmins threatened you, that would not make Larry's
  23. email threatening. It struck me as rather polite, actually. Even
  24. if Larry had asked them to threaten you, his email STILL wouldn't
  25. have been threatening. In fact, I fail to see how any threat Larry
  26. would make against your system admins would be anything but laughable.
  27. Remember, Usenet is an anarchy.

  32. It's not how *I* normally operate. I can't speak for Larry.
