Oh, I dunno, I think just knowing numbers like that would be
revenge enough. Besides, I use a threaded news-reader, so I read one copy
'cause it was in 'dc.config' and deleted all the others from the menu.

To bring this conversation into line with Shadowrun, here's an
interesting thought: flaming on the Matrix. Only a total idiot (and we
sure have enough of _those_ on the 'net!) would flame one of the majorly
powerful deckers (like those who can get rid of the time/date stamp),
'cause a good decker could easily cause that luser's account to implode
with them inside of it.
How would _you_ anonymously send flames via the Matrix? It has to
be a way that you couldn't be traced, and that wouldn't completely destroy
the recipient -- just make them a little wary the next time they jacked in.
