   Rather patronizing, isn't it? It sounds like "Of course *I* know
how to properly configure *my* mailer, but we must remember that everyone
isn't as smart as I am!".

   What's even more strange is, that if now Malcolm already distributes
censored nodelists/nodediffs, to protect all those ignorant Aussie sysops
from making a terrible mistake, why in hell should the entire zone 2
segment have to be censored as well? Are those Aussie sysops also suspected
of grabbing nodelists from other zones (sneaky bastards!)? In which case
they still get a bunch of 000-nodes from zone 1 -- Janis obviously didn't
fall for this hoax, but then again she *is* renowned for her technical
skills.

   To me, the zone 2 censorship is almost like using double condoms --
isn't it better to rather change to a better quality then? :)
