Yep, me.

Yep, exactly.

I understand, and you can be assured that I do not cancel Nathan Mates'
flames, Joe Kohn's advertisements, Tom Turley's manifestos, or any other
posting which may seem to be related to the Apple II.  With the exception,
of course, of these damn illegal postings (which DID have to do with the
Apple II, but were cancelled because they were illegal).

I also cancel off-topic posts (with the exception of Mac posts), spam,
Velveeta (cross-posting in excess), Make Money Fast posts, and followups
to these posts by the clewbies who don't understand that their followups
were as destructive as the original posts.

By the way, I lucked out as the illegal postings were received by my
newsserver just as I was reading news; making it possible for me to
cancel them just as fast as they came in.
