Richard,
This individual who was 'acting on his own' apparently has access to your
Netcom Email account, since this 'hype thread' appears to have been
started by a letter from you!!? (see below from the bionet news archives).
Also, I would comment that this was not just one posting but several,
including posts in bionet.software and bionet.microbiology (in the guise
of a reply to a genuine post).
