1987 November 16, eric mading, “Eric M -- money where his mouth is ?”, in alt.flame[1] (Usenet):usenet postings are in the public domain. i simply forwarded a posting to more public people. anyone writing something that will go in the public domain should be prepared to see his posting end up anywhere in that domain.
i sure don't consider myself a 'net cop'
1999 December 30, DOW_9er7Tango, “Sysop and the booting of people for language infractions.”, in microsoft.public.games.zone.fighterace[2] (Usenet):I would hate to be a sysop, joining to help people with technical problems so they can enjoy a game, and helping to host events, then to be put in the position of net cop. That would suck
2004 December 26, Robert L. Bass, “Napco p3200 2 wire fire”, in alt.security.alarms[3] (Usenet):I didn't tell you what to say... only pointed out that as soon as you start playing net cop the conversation goes off the deep end. Act nice and you'll be treated that way. Make snide remarks and you get the same.
