Bzzzt wrong! That month of postings was probably the best period of the Stein Wars to really understand what Mr. Casso is really doing here in alt.ascii-art because this time his excesses and behaviour particularly with regard to deliberately changing/munging author attributes and posting rewritten distortion of the FAQs have gone far beyond anything he did in previous Stein War episodes. [...snip...] > I regret Pete messed with the initials but it's his right to make > amockery of my drawings, I tease him myself every now and then. :) Oh come on now Joris, Casso did not just mess with your initials on your FAQ, he totally distorted its title and contents so that newcomers and inexperienced group users would get the entirely opposite impression of the FAQ's intention. Joan Stark corrected Casso's first distortion which still carried your own initials/name. When Casso then followed Joan's correction with several repeat postings with my initials on them instead of your name I realised that I needed to issue corrections because you were obviously going to do Sweet Fanny Adams about it...just regard it as a tease, joke and mockery by Casso and nothing more...or so it would seem from this latest posting of yours. Casso's mockery of the FAQ and constant reposting of it had far more serious implications than a mere joke or mockery. We regularly point inexperienced people to the FAQs and do not want deliberate falsifications lying around in Usenet archives. This has happened in other newsgroups where people have written false FAQs and later those false FAQs have been taken for real by inexperienced newcomers. There is a big difference between teasing and jokes about your drawings and rewriting FAQs or messages with malicious intent. Bye,
