OK, I accept that you feel that you had a legitimate reason for posting
the message you did. I didn't see this clarification in the list of
messages until after I had sent the previous post. Please ignore my flame
- I understand what you're about, even if I don't agree with the way you
presented your story.

I suggest that rather than posting the full story as you did, a quick
summary of the basic facts and reason for posting and then an address for
further information would have been better. This would no doubt have
headed off a lot of the flames (like mine) you'll probably receive.

Keep in mind that newsgroups get inundated by messages just such as yours
appeared to be that are completely inappropriate or are totally bogus, so
negative reactions to your first post are perhaps to be expected given the
way it appeared.
