  I sent netmail to Frank this morning without an address to see if 
pwk222 works. What do you mean a random address? You said pwk222 
fixed this by sending bad netmail back to me. What's the point of it, 
if it doesn't?

 PE> Would the following people, who have compromised their password
 PE> to my knowledge, please send me a netmail with a new password.

  When did I compromise my password? I haven't sent a message to
Areafix for yonks. I think you are wrong on this. I may have *said* I
told everyone my password, but I lied.

  And who gives a stuff anyway? What's it matter if someone besides 
you (and anyone you like to tell) knows my password? What are they
going to do - steal my Rod Speed mail? Are they going to write
offensive messages? I do that anyway, and I defy anyone to be more
offensive than me. I am so offensive I embarrass myself.

 PE> Because last time I politely requested people to send me a new
 PE> password I didn't get any responses (or at least any responses
 PE> with a new password), this time I won't be polite.

  I ignored you the last time because I thought you were wrong (and I
still think you are wrong). What makes you think I compromised my
password? Do you have any evidence, or did it just come to you in the
night as a revelation?

  Anyway, I don't trust you. For all I know, you tell all your friends
my password so they can pretend to be Bob Lawrence and steal my mail
to Rod Speed.

 PE> YOU FUCKING PRICKS JUST DO IT YOU BASTARDS. 

  Okay. But you're bloody nuisance. I'll have to recalculate the CRC 
for TinyPoint, Devil Dialler, and that dickhead freq program I wrote. 
And if I send it to you netmail with a compromised password, then how 
is it any less compromised? These bastards who are stealing my mail 
and pretending to be Bob Lawrence will just steal the new password.

  But I'll do it anyway, to keep you happy. Humour a loony, I always
say. Will you at least let me know when you change the password, so I
can recalculate the CRC?

 PE> Oh, and if I don't get new passwords from you, I will make up a
 PE> new password myself and put it in. Of course, you won't be able
 PE> to get my netmail telling you what the new password is, because
 PE> you won't be able to connect without your new password.

  What a good idea - and the next time you get paranoia about
inmagined compromised passwords, and people pretending to be Bob
Lawrence and stealing his mail, you can use a random number generator
so that not even *you* know what the password is.

Regards,
Bob

PS: I may not be a real Bob. I could be one of those bastards who know
my password and are stealing all my messages to Rod Speed, so I'll
give you the password now: ********.

PPS: I had to blank it out because I don't trust you, either.
