- Funny how it took you 16 hours to figure that out, eh? (It was sent the 25th
- at 12:18 local, and it wasn't until the next morning at almost 3:30 that you
- discovered it? Pardon my slight skepticism.)

- If the terminal locked up, why did it respond to a simple "s" key? I don't
- recall ever seeing a terminal lock-up that could be undone *that* easily.

-
- Here's a clue -- most newsreaders allow you to cancel articles you post...
-
- >And please do not tell me about how stupid it was, because it's not my fault

-
- No one's arguing with that -- but your explanation of how it happened is more
- than a little suspicious. What you'd better hope right now is that no regular
- readers of the Times spot your article, or you may have a *lot* of explaining
- to do.

- >(if I had intended it to go out, do you think I would have re=posted the whole

-
- Whether or not you intended it to go out, it did, whether you can explain it
- intellgibly or not...
-
- --PLH, why am I not surprised?
