Dear Postmaster, Below the `======' separator below I am including for your information a newsgroup posting which was posted to the newsgroups contained in the headers. This posting is completely inappropriate to the newsgroup where I saw it. I hope the information in the newsgroup headers allows you to determine who is responsible. Such off-topic postings annoy me (and certainly many others as well), are a broach of `netiquette', probably represent abuse of priviledes on the part of the sender, and can even be illegal. I therefore ask that you take appropriate action to assure that this doesn't happen again, including, if you deem appropriate, revoking the account of the person in question. If I continue to notice off-topic newsgroup postings from this address, I will take legal action. I have a legal costs insurance which covers ALL costs, worldwide, and I will not hesitate to make use of it. All the information I have on this point is contained in the newsgroup headers, but nevertheless feel free to contact me if you wish.
