CP2 POST-Joe Mills

Every year there is some professor at Wright State University (in
Dayton, Ohio, I believe) who sends his class(es) out to the news
groups - and I think specifically to alt.ascii-art where he has
them prove that they can read and post to newsgroups.  I'm not
sure what the class is, or why he doesn't teach them a little
netiquette while he is at it, but almost always the subject lines
contain "cp2" somewhere.  That might be part of the assignment,
but who knows.  Anyway, it will go away about as quickly as it
started ... until, of course, it comes back.  ;^)

I posted a message to one of the students asking that the
teacher get back to me or post to alt.ascii-art.
Its not that I mind the CP2 posts I would just like to
know what they are. If someone is going to use
a newsgroup the way that they are, I think at least an
explanation/warning is due to the regular posters and
lurkers of the group.

Thanks for the information Sandy.
I find it a little sad though that a University course
actually requires the ability to post to a newsgroup and
can't use its own.
.
Perhaps the syllabus should also include the requirement
to post *relevent* articles to newsgroups :)
