I just posted the article below in soc.culture.turkish, but since
i  (stupid backspace) it is from an old friend, I thought
I'd cross post it to soc.culture.greek. Enjoy. (no flames,
I won't follow up anyway)]

Mustafa Bey, if you are so smart, do you know what oh.k12 is? It is a 
news group for elementary and high school children (part of the k12 net),
what are these morons advertising so blatantly, computer programs for
kindergarden? 

And he further writes:

In other words, all these idiotic postins from the net lawyers (the
Law Firm of So and So on, Headhunters, the guy who was selling trail
blazers (so long), etc are all OK if we don't use .edu sites to send 
them.

I beg to differ. Read the recent discussions on Usenet postins
making it to Canada (stuff in alt.erotica groups (hi Cosar!) and
see what happened in non-US sites where non-US laws were applied.

At last, sanity prevails.  Ever heard of the BIZ hierarchy? Does THAT
ring a bell?

The above announcement was stupidly posted in irrelevant news groups,
but judging from previous attempts to communicate with you, you
think that a CHILDREN's News Group (ohio.k12) is appropriate for 
peddling consulting services in Solid Modeling (Play Doh?).

But still no kute .signature

Ohhh. I'm so impressed. There's a national K12 news hierarchy, do you
post there too? Of course, coming from a person who found 600KB/week
of Mutlu/Argic/etc reasonable, nothing surprises me...
