Agreed.  Very inappropriate.  The post was the result of a blunder during a
debugging session of software that interfaces with the news posting software.
It was not supposed to actually post this material -- and actually it was not
supposed to post the message which was posted.  We're quite apologetic about
the whole thing.  You're probably close to the 50th complaint we and the
postmaster have received so far... all justifiable complaints too.

We've handled Usenet postings for years and this is the first serious mistake
that we made.  Unfortunately it was not brought under control until it was
much too late.  Please accept our apologies.  It was wrong, accidental, and
regretted.

A copy of this is being forwarded to comp.std.c++.
