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.

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,
