I don't think I said that. What I think don't matter, what matters IMO is what Daniel thinks. It must be remembered that not all posters are adults and should follow rules. We in society have different rules for minors why shouldn't that also apply here. >Netiquette and common sense are similar things IMHO ; and being critized isn't >_that_ bad ( was my first experience in usenet , I learnt to adapt , at least a >little , it didn't do permanent harm to me .. ) ; I agree with Severi that a >little more of common usenet posting policy might sometimes help CCC a lot . Yes, but you were not considered by society I assume as a minor. Therefore society assumes you will not be damaged, it don't assume the same with minors. Sarah.
