Sorry about the trick, I just wanted to get your attention. You have evidently not explained carefully enough to your students that just forwarding somebody else's post as if it was their own is quite pointless (I might even go so far as to call it "cheating" and certainly wouldn't let them pass a course with it if I was the teacher...). Also you don't seem to have explained to them that they should find out what the newsgroup they are posting to is about - before they post and make fools of themselves... Here are a couple of examples of what this group is about: ||||| *rrrrrrr!* ||| . *rrrrr* |||| _' _____ |.-- --.___.'' |""""""""""""""""""": /(.) (.)---._____|""""""""""""""""""" \ ) .
