    These messages came through my system from Jon's. I have turned off importing of messages from his system until he gets things fixed on his end.

    Sorry about that.

    Not your fault, and thanks!

    Jon,
    Your system appears to be crosslinking messages from one of the
    Dovenet/Fido networked areas, probably Synchronet Discussion, into this area. This area is the FIDO POLITICS area. Please fix this ASAP.

    Thanks!
    Mike

    P.S. I realize there is a remote posibility that this is realted to the
    DINGUS bug/prank. If so, please disregard as it should work itself out.

    Technically, yes.

    Perhaps. But it wasn't a "hack". If fact "they" didn't even attempt to hide their identity. I think "prank" is a better description of what was done to that wiki page.

    It was still out of line irregardless. If I pulled something like that, I'd
    be in **** for it. But I'm not stupid.
