	Too much a coincidence. But not meaning to incite a flame war 
here, I understand why Kevin has reasons his reasons to believe why it 
could have been you.

	Apple IIGS, though a dying breed of users, there are a number of 
Apple IIGS users in Australia we may not be aware of. I was surprised to 
find so many other Apple IIGS users within my faculty and uni !!! Mainly, 
a number of them 'fear' being 'not-being-in-the-party' for not having a 
WinDoze or Macintosh.

: I don't have a Sydney Uni account.

	I doubt that you require a Sydney Uni email account to post UseNet 
articles, just about most computer labs in most uni have Netscape 
capabilites that can go into news. "a35rm227-5.edfac.usyd.edu.au" address 
name indicates that it should be a workstation (computer) in one of the 
computer lab in Room 227 of the Education Faculty (guessing the naming 
convention). "Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win95; I)" indicates that it was done 
using a Windows 95 running Netscape Gold 3.01.

	Don't forget we have the time factor "Mon, 28 Jul 1997 11:01:20 
+1000" in GMT, and if one *REALLY* wants to be nasty ... supposingly if 
that class is indeed a tutorial group going on at that time, someone, 
could find out the class (if there was one) and nails down to the the 
tutorial group and the class list.

	Now, with that in mind (and probably Kevin's), not that many Apple 
IIGS breed will be around in a single class size, given the probabilty 
will be even be 2% is an Apple IIGS user, it is possible to iron it out 
the person.

: Thirdly...there's about 10-000-20,000 students at sydney uni and I'm not 
: the only apple2 user there. 

	If I agree with Kevin on this one, I'd say there will be less than 
2% of those who did still run an Apple IIGS in Sydney Uni. And narrowing 
down to the Education Faculty alone will be about not more then 5,000 
students.

: As for whether or not you think I did it.....I dont give a toss. Prove 
: it! Its not possible, cause it isnt true.

	It *IS* possible, but I'd not be pointing a finger at you as I do 
not have proof that you did it.

	But, I *DO* agree with Kevin that there may be a distinct 
possibility, though true or not, is up to Kevin to proof if he so wishes 
to accuse you.

	I ain't wish to be involve in this, but I just wanna point out the 
possibility. 

	But I'd guess, Joe Kohn may write to the System Administrator to 
see if the person can be tracked down, since I guess Joe *IS* afterall 
holding the distribution rights.

	My last word is, I am on neutral ground ... I am not pointing an 
accusation finger on no-one. I just listen to what is been said and what I 
can contribute to the community.

	Regards.
